Has anyone successfully used a lookup file to do Edge node mappings? I might be approaching this the wrong way but trying to move 100+ Edge nodes to a new fleet without having to re-deploy the nodes. Is there a better approach to what I am doing or are the only options: re-dploy edge nodes or use the world's longest mapping filter

You should be able to use the mapping feature.
You can have copilot add all the host names into a JS filter like this for example:
[ 'host1',
'host2',
'host3',
'host4'
].includes(hostname)
Once you add the filter, select the target fleet right below and they should start populating in the fleet you selected.
I've used this JS filter to map hundreds of nodes in my environment.
But yeah at - scale; the guidance I got was use an automation tool in your Enterprise; Which I laughed at

indeed the centralized mapping rule on the leader is directly intended to address this. The mapping rules will also take precedence if you had any that would apply to a node even if the node had a group set in instance.yml.
Add tags to your nodes and use the tags to Fleet-filter.
(granted, adding the tags isn't something you can do via Cribl's Admin, but i think it's easier than a reinstall; and getting the orchestration/scripting in place now coul dpay longer term dividends)
Thanks everyone, just wanted to confirm this worked out well for migrating the nodes, I appreciate everyone's input
