In order to improve the RA Lite data import process to Crew Manager, add a check box to the Crew Manager Data Import screen for "Retain Existing Attr Values"

In order for the "Retain Existing Attr Values" checkbox to be checked, either Reuse Crews or Reuse Members (or both) must be checked.

When checked, the following rules are applied during the import process pertaining to updating existing (Exists?=Y) crew/member data:

  1. Attribute values for attributes present in Crew Manager that are not contained in the imported file retain their existing values upon import
  2. Attribute values for attributes present in Crew Manager that are also contained in the imported file are updated according to current logic upon import
  3. If an attribute in the imported file contains null attribute values, the existing values are retained upon import

When unchecked, the current logic is applied during the import process pertaining to updating existing (Exists?=Y) crew/member data (i.e. attribute values for attributes present in Crew Manager that are not contained in the imported file are purged of their existing values upon import).
