The Dimensional Parameter is not used to create the unique ID definition of the record. Therefore, you can mark the existing record as modified by typing M at the beginning of the record. For example, the new requirement dictates that the face-to-face dimension value is 8 inches for a 3 inch 150# gate valve with a contractor commodity code "VAAAHAAAWAIFABAZZZZUS".
