Hi

It's not really as straightforward as just exporting, correcting, and
importing:

1. If there are NIL data value records existing with the correct catcombo,
you can do exporting->correcting->importing, followed by deletion of the
original records (easy if you are on 2.26 because you can re-import the
oriiginal catcombo records with deleted set to true).

2. If there are SOME data value records existing with the correct catcombo,
it gets more complicated because you then have to decide which record to
keep: the original "wrong catcombo" record, or the original "correct
catcombo" record? If both have the same value then the choice do not
matter, but if they have different values you have to choose - either by
selecting one or the other by default or else by using e.g. the LastUpdated
field to determine which of them are "newest".

Regards
Calle
