Regarding the logic for object matching, it's a bit confusing in the old
importer.. it goes something like this

1) Try to match on UID
2) Try to match on CODE
3) If name == unique, match on NAME
4) if object is orgUnit, also try to match on UUID

This has changed in the new importer, where we currently only allow
matching on UID/CODE, and it has to be explicit (UID is default)

Title:
  Dry run Alters Data 2.23

Status in DHIS:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello devs!

  Just found in 2.23 a bug that will alter metadata during a dry run.

  Also, if someone come point me at the documentation for the logic for
  updating existing objects? Right now if a name is the same, it will
  alter the existing code and uid to the incoming code and uid rather
  than erroring out, which to me seems like a bad idea to ever edit a
  UID.

  You can see an example of this here:
