Six of the seven named Handles here are duplicates of each other: Borrowers' country, Country and Reference Area (all Countries); and Date, Quarter and Time (all time dimensions). We need instead to lock on the type of the data. This is at least feasible with time data, since (most of the time!) there will only be one time dimension (though I can anticipate things like data on the duration for which an asset is held, which would have 2-3 date dimensions), but not with "string" since there are 4 string dimensions here, only 3 of which are country: Borrowing sector is the exception.

A fast way to enable this might be to make the Lock Handles menu a table rather than a column of tick boxes, so that you could align which axes in which Ravels you wish to lock. This could use some of the Godley Table functionality.

This is why I was trying to rename all Country columns to Country before attempting to import.
