Bulk import should validate that location ID field can match "name" or "id" #707

Closed goddesswarship closed 1 month ago

Data in theEncounter.locationID field of a bulk import spreadsheet is currently checked against the name entry in locationID.json. However, when the location names differ between name and id fields (such as Rapid River, ME vs Rapid River ME), potential matches are missed. If we update it so that both name and id are checked, users will see fewer discrepancies with their match candidates.
