The goal was to populate the pack_size_id with the correct id number from the pack_size table, based on the mappings in the part-list table.

Table 1 (`items`)

+-------+--------------+
| code  | pack_size_id |
+-------+--------------+
| 50004 |           35 |
| 50005 |           36 |

| 50021 |           35 |
| 50022 |           38 |

| 50028 |           36 |
| 50029 |           36 |
| 50032 |           39 |
| 50034 |           39 |
| 50035 |           39 |
| 50036 |           39 |
| 50038 |           40 |
| 50039 |           40 |
| 50041 |           40 |
