Hi @garrettmknight

Based on the CSV data:

Destination,Currency,Rate,Rate Amount
Afghanistan,USD,Full Day,30
Afghanistan,EUR,Part Day,20
Afghanistan,EUR,Overnight,95
Afghanistan,EUR,Breakfast,-6
Afghanistan,EUR,Lunch,-12
Afghanistan,EUR,Dinner,-12
...

System Behavior Observation:

The system assigns one currency per country, using the first entry’s currency (e.g., USD for Afghanistan).
Subsequent entries for the same country ignore their currency field (e.g., EUR rows for Afghanistan are overridden).
Changing the first entry’s currency (e.g., USD → EUR) updates the FE display for the entire country.

This appears intentional. Could you confirm this is the desired logic with the team?

@ijmalik thanks for the note. Just reviewed and came to the same conclusion. Closing
