The only solution is to either change the LNAB first on the lower number, or to do a PPP swap, and then restore the project manager accounts. I already set the father link, so that it will not disconnect.
In this instance, the best solution might be to merge to the higher-numbered profile, since the numbers are so similar and the lower-numbered profile has essentially no content.
