Public bug reported:

Scenario:
Exporting a complete set of indicators from instance A to instance B. This two instances have nearly identical sets of indicators in terms of NAMES but not necessarily in terms of indicators UIDs. A number of indicator parameters/fields have been updated in instance A, updates which needs to be transferred to instance B using export and import (new and update). Many of these indicators are used in reports and charts in instance B, so a complete removal of all indicators in B before importing the set from A is not practical.

1. Export a complete set of around 300 indicators from instance A (XML
format).

2. Import the set into instance B, using "new and updates". The import
summary highlights a number of issues, mainly related to the fact that
the indicators in A have additional user-specified attributes.

3. When checking the indicator list in B afterwards, a large number
(over half) of the indicators are duplicated.

My assumption is that any indicator with the same NAME as an existing
indicator but with a different UID, will be imported as new and become a
duplicate.
