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".
