You could try looping through all the ID values with something like
collect($contacts)->where('ID', $id)->pluck('tags')->flatten();
and build up a new contacts array that way.

remove duplicates array objects and merge a column
Hi, need help building a logic. it can be using core PHP methods or laravel collection methods. The problem is I have an array.
$contacts = [
0: {ID: "1", tags: ["tag1"]}
1: {ID: "2", tags: ["tag2"]}
2: {ID: "3", tags: ["tag3"]}
3: {ID: "1", tags: ["tag4"]}
4: {ID: "4", tags: ["tag5"]}
]
What I want is if we have a duplicate id in the array as we have ID 1. remove them and merge the tag column.
$contacts = [
0: {ID: "1", tags: ["tag1", "tag4"]}
1: {ID: "2", tags: ["tag2"]}
2: {ID: "3", tags: ["tag3"]}
3: {ID: "4", tags: ["tag5"]}
]

You really should consider changing your database model, using json columns is a really bad practice.
