Updating IDNO through data import

jeffschneider

I want to update the idno for several records through a data import. However since my existing record policy is merge_on_idno_with_replace, is this possible? I do not have unique preferred labels so can't update on that.

I have done this successfully with ca_collections records. I'm not sure if it's created this way on purpose, or just a lucky chance, but add 2 mappings to ca_collections.idno (or ca_objects.idno depending on record). The first one maps to the value you are changing it to, the second maps to the one you are matching on.

Thanks! Worked perfectly.
