Issue
I am trying to bulk update entities using a spreadsheet, but the system does not recognize the entity names in my spreadsheet. It gives an error like "Entity could not be found with name, alias, or registry ID ..."
Environment
Registry, Inventory (bulk update)
Cause
There may be extra hidden space characters in your entity name that are preventing the system from recognizing that the name matches up with what is in your spreadsheet.
Resolution steps
Manually check the name of an entity that is not being recognized by the import tool. If you have edit permission to the entity, click on the name of the entity to view the name in edit mode, then click/navigate around the name of the entity to see if there are hidden spaces within its name.
If there are hidden spaces, you can either (1) remove them in the affected entities before re-running your original bulk update, or (2) modify your bulk update spreadsheet to take the extra spaces into account.
