Renumber the PBS

Feature Request: Bulk PBS Renumbering

Summary:

Enable users to copy and paste over the number and name of PBS items in bulk, allowing for efficient renumbering or renaming without breaking existing connections. The feature should prevent the creation of duplicate PBS entries and ensure existing data is not lost or overwritten unintentionally.

Problem Statement:

Currently, users must update PBS numbers or names individually, which is time-consuming and error-prone. When attempting bulk changes, there is a risk of creating duplicate entries or losing existing data, as the system does not intelligently map updates to existing connections.

Proposed Solution:

• Allow users to select multiple PBS items and perform bulk updates to their numbers/names via copy-paste or file import.

• Ensure the update process preserves existing connections and relationships where possible.

• Prevent the creation of duplicate PBS records during the update process.

• Provide clear feedback to users on any items that could not be updated due to data conflicts or connection issues.

Benefits:

• Significantly reduces manual effort and risk of errors in large-scale PBS updates.

• Improves data integrity by preventing duplicates and data loss.

• Enhances user satisfaction by streamlining a common, time-consuming workflow.
