Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
My application expects records to have a speciifc _id. Sometimes that _id gets our of shape. I would like to be able to go in and edit the _id value. Now this is not really editting, instead I would like to take the existing document reindex under an _id of my choosing and then delete the original document.
Is this possible?
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Make the _id column editable in the UI, but when the user attempts to save the record it should reindex and delete.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the record-editing UI and its Elasticsearch document update flow. Compare the requested _id behavior with the existing curl workflow. Done means saving an edited _id reindexes the record under the new value and deletes the original document.
