  • External ID values must be unique.
  • You can add an external ID only to plan assignments that don't have one.
  • To help avoid errors, an external ID in a plan assignment table is permanent.
  • If you create a plan assignment from the Plans page or with the uploader and you leave the external ID blank, you can still edit the plan assignment.
  • After you assign an external ID, the ID is always required for future updates with the uploader.
  • If you create a plan assignment with the uploader and specify an external ID, always use the same external ID for future updates.
