Hi All,

I am having trouble with making large changes to activities when export via text clipboard and reimporting.

When exporting only

• ID, Name, Text1 to make changes to Text 1 field.

A number of issues occur on reimport.

• template reallocation, parent data allocation deletion, sub-project information being re-allocated.

Is this a bug? This method worked in previous versions.

Regards

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

yes, in fact the import behaviour has slightly changed during recent updates (11.1Mr3 and 11.1 MR4) .This is connected to the enhanced data assignment from the template coming in this versions.

1. template reallocation: Please consider this as a bug. It is already known and addressed. Workaround: Add the Template to the Export fields in Step 1. During import do not assigne any fields from template. 
2. parent data allocation: As to my knowledge this is no bug and has been ever since Version 10. Same solution: Add the Parent-Id to the Export in Step1. Then also import the Parent ID.
3. sub-project allocation: As to my knowledge this is no bug and has been ever since Version 10. Same solution: Add the Sub-project-Id to the Export in Step1. Then also import the sub-project-ID. (This is happening if you have more than one subproject only).

Good Luck.

Hi Thorsten,

Thank you for the feedback. I found the following to be the minimum fields for export / import.
