Topic: Reassign custody to old custodian key
I've been contacted by an organisation that used to have a copy of Recorder6 with an old custodian key. They had previously exported their data to their local LERC for use and safekeeping. They now have a new copy of Recorder6 with a new custodian key (I think their use of Recorder6 had lapsed in the meantime and the old database was lost, and with it their key). The LERC has exported their data back to them but, because they have a new custodian key, they are unable to edit their own data.
If they use the database tool 'Reassign Database to new Custodian' entering their old custodian key as the 'current site ID' and their new custodian key as the 'Site ID of the new owner' will this work? In other words will this update all the records in the database from their old custodian key to their new custodian key?
