 +===== Import new name codes =====
 +
 +If you need to change the name codes for a selection of names, it is a technically challenging process that is easy to get wrong if done manually, especially if you intend to re-use existing codes (not recommended!).  Custom code has been developed to do this in bulk.  Please contact Sustainable Solutions on <support@msupply.foundation> to discuss this.  Include a link to this heading [[https://wiki.sussol.net/doku.php/msupply:design:admin:name_code_update_code#code_to_update_name_codes|Code to update Name codes]] :-).
