If product type name change has modified the name of a child CI Type instead of the parent CI Type, during migration the child CI Type name is reverted back to the original name and parent CI Type name is modified as the latest product type name. For eg: if product type "IP Phone" is changed as "ABC", then the child CI Type "Cisco IP phone" would have changed to "ABC". Now in this migration, "Cisco IP Phone" CI Type would be reverted back to its old name and "IP Phone" CI Type would be modified as "IP Phone'.
