Description

When merging 2 projects, how do you know which workflow is which? #3432 assumes that the names are unchanged, but they can change and attributes like positions changed.

  • We can have a UI to map workflows by name
  • Via api, it could be: merge [fetch-patients-new] into [get-patients]
  • Use some other sort of identifier, maybe hashes??
