3. Change the tag numbers/line ids of the selected items by editing all or some of the tag number fields to make up the a new, project-unique tag number, as displayed in the New Tag No fields.

   Invalid (that means, not unique) tag numbers are displayed in red in these fields. As each tag number is changed, it is validated against the database to check its uniqueness. If validation is successful, the displayed tag number in the New Tag No field changes to green.
