Hello everyone, 
Is there a survivorship setting to survive the addition/sum? For things like revenue, customer lifetime value, number of open issues, we want to survive the addition of all individual values. 

Thank you

The survivorship settings don't perform operations on the values, but select among the existing values.  So if the sum was one of the values, using the 'Max' survivorship strategy would do what you wanted.

However, have you thought about update scenarios?  How would the sum be differentiated from the existing values that were previously summed?  While I don't know all of your requirements, etc., it seems like it may be safer to put the attribute value for the sum in an additional attribute.

Thanks @Gino Fortunato, certainly something to think about. I am wondering if in cases like these we could avoid values from being survived. Is there a way to do that?

while I'll repeat that you might be better off putting the sum in a different attribute, filtering is available.  See https://docs.reltio.com/matchmerge/survivorshiprules.html.  I would copy/paste it here, but its long.  Note there are two sections that explain filtering.  One at the top which can be accessed https://docs.reltio.com/matchmerge/survivorshiprules.html?hl=filters#survivorshiprules__ssprulesfiltering and the other down in the examples section called "Filters in Survivorship Group Mapping".
