New functionality

Proposed functionality

When bulk importing prefixes, enable the user to identify the scope object (region, site, etc.) by its name or slug. Currently, the scope object must be specified by its numeric ID.

Use case

This approach is more user-friendly, as users typically refer to objects by name or slug rather than by ID.
