Hi Andrea

i use proj 9.4.0. I want to add a transformation similar to an existing 
one (code 15984 EPSG 32467 to 258322). But I want to use a different 
Transformation grid.

Proj.db has a table grid_transformation. I have added a data set similar 
to 15984 to code 15984 but with a different grid name. the Grid is 
stored in the proj folder. But the transformation did not show up when 
addig the data - only the existing ones.

Kind regards

Klaus
