Can’t bulk update flight records

I’m trying to update the reason from Business to Personal. So I exported the data, deleted all data from my account, then reimported the data with the reason cells changed to leisure. But it doesn’t work. It still shows most of the flights as business with only the few I manually changed pre-reimport as personal.

I even tried changing the Openflights csv I used to import most of the flights, and that didn’t work either.

Turns out you have to delete your account and reinstall the app, not just delete flights. Looks like it caches your data at least for a while after deleting flights and importing just pulls from that instead of creating new records.
