In later versions of DHIS2, the default dimension is "hard-coded". You can
see the details here

https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-core/blob/6eb907f483fcac906013d6e7011f13cfb565392b/dhis-2/dhis-services/dhis-service-core/src/main/java/org/hisp/dhis/dataelement/DefaultDataElementCategoryService.java#L493

So, it might make sense to use those.

You can also use the new feature which allows you to specify a coding
scheme during import. Its not quite the same functionality as in DHIS1.4,
where you could map the data elements during import, but if you can specify
a code on your "destination" system which is present in your "source"
system, you can also use that to import data with a specified coding
scheme.

Regards,
Jason
