Yes, updating descriptor fields and data involves four steps: 1) adding the new descriptor fields, 2) exporting the existing descriptor data, 3) adding the new records and data to the database (you will see that Dedoose has added an ID number for existing records to assure the data will remain linked to any associated resources), and 4) re-importing the descriptors to the project.
