The second video is private and I can't see it.
Anyways, what you are suggesting is that I mass edit the Department field and delete its content followed by a complete reimporte of the database with duplicate handling?
In theory that should work except that in the meantime I have created additional fields and the database already contains some duplicates that I haven't yet merged. The only way I would see this "working" would be by exporting the current database (or at least those contacts with data in the Department Field, around 1500 of them), purging the Department Field, then copying the proper department from my original csv file to the exported one and then finally reimporting the whole thing with duplicate handling. With so many steps involved and contacts on hand here I am kind of relunctant to do this as I am not really confident on the duplicate function.
EDIT: I am going to try that. Just made a backup of Corebos and the database just in case things turn bitter.
