Description

Right now for the user, catchment, and location upload, we don't respect the UUIDs and this causes issues when someone later wants to update the name of the location.
It might not be relevant for the user upload because Cognito doesn't allow the change in username. But this should be fixed for the location upload. Also there should be easy way to find out the UUIDs of the locations

Research direction

Trace the user, catchment, and location metadata-upload paths, focusing on how UUIDs are read and matched to existing records. Done means location uploads respect UUIDs so existing names can be updated, and users have an easy way to find location UUIDs; also determine whether the same behavior applies to user uploads.
