Changing Dimension Number without Losing Financial Data

SUGGESTED

Does anyone know if we're able to edit the dimension/asset number without losing our financials on that asset? IE changing #13022 to #13049, but keeping all associated records. When we go into the dimension to change the established number now, it simply creates a "duplicate" dimension with that new number--not carrying over any data or editing the one we were in.

Is there another way to go about this?
