Description

I read the docs of dexie-export-import thoroughly, however I didn't find a way how to add onto the current database when importing the data. It either completely replaces the whole table or merges and overwrites any row with the same id.

What I'd like to do is to import the data with new id's, while keeping the old data in the table intact.

Research direction
Explore the dexie export import module's import options to see if there is a way to import with new IDs. If not, consider proposing a new option like 'importWithNewIds' or contributing to the module.
