    Set the configuration source Object for this metadata element.
    The exact type of the object will depend on the configuration mechanism used.
  - getSource
```
@Nullable
public Object getSource()
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanMetadataElement
    Return the configuration source Object for this metadata element (may be null).
    Specified by:
    getSource in interface BeanMetadataElement
  - setElementTypeName
```
public void setElementTypeName(String elementTypeName)
```
    Set the default element type name (class name) to be used for this list.

public String getElementTypeName()
```
    Return the default element type name (class name) to be used for this list.
  - setMergeEnabled
```
public void setMergeEnabled(boolean mergeEnabled)
```
    Set whether merging should be enabled for this collection, in case of a 'parent' collection value being present.
  - isMergeEnabled
```
public boolean isMergeEnabled()

    Description copied from interface: Mergeable
    Is merging enabled for this particular instance?
    Specified by:
    isMergeEnabled in interface Mergeable
  - merge
```
public List<E> merge(@Nullable
                     Object parent)
```
    Description copied from interface: Mergeable
    Merge the current value set with that of the supplied object.
    The supplied object is considered the parent, and values in the callee's value set must override those of the supplied object.

    merge in interface Mergeable
    Parameters:
    parent - the object to merge with
    Returns:
    the result of the merge operation
