HI @Vamsi_Kaki
In that case we need to do the following steps

Create a system module.
1.First store old Code and Old Name in the system Module by running an import to have a backup for future reference.
2. Then get a mapping with Old Code to New Code and New Name from the stakeholders.
3.Then load New Code and New Name to the system module using Old Code Mapping
4.Create a property such as New Code and New name in the list and
5.Next Run an import from system module to List to import New Code and New name to the Property Created by mapping with old Code.
6.Then run an import from Sys module to list by mapping new code to code and use combination of properties for mapping.
7.At the end delete the extra properties created

Let me know if this works out.
Thanks

Hi @Vamsi_Kaki
Is the list code used for Unique ID mapping

Vamsi_Kaki

Yes @PujithaB, Code is the unique identifier in the mappings of the import action.

HI @Vamsi_Kaki
In that case we need to do the following steps

Dikshant

Existing List Codes:

Create a new line item (New Code) in system module

Create an import action that updates the code based on the name.

Saved View:

Import Action:

Run it once you populate the mapping

And boom - Code updated!

Let me know if you see any challenges with this approach. Let's discuss!
