When I am trying to add a "Same parts with similar patterns" relationship
I see an option to either make a new match or edit an existing one, but I can
never get editing an existing match to work. How do you actually do that?

Example: Parts 973pb3017 & 973pb1653 have the same parts with similar patterns
relationship. (Match #12665) Part 973pb2296 looks similar to both of those, but
I can't add a new match because "Item Already exists in this Relationship
Type." How do I add 2296 to that existing relationship using the form? I
put in the match #, added 3017, 1653, and 2296, selected edit existing relationship,
but it still gave the same error.

Add the existing match # and only the additional part you want to add to the
match.

You don't need to enter the existing part numbers - the existing match #
covers those.
