I wouild realy appreciate to have a default export list definition for all fields and a bit of intelligence choosing this definition excluding fields not available
see attachment it is not userfriendly and most users will have problems and loos much time to choose the correct fields to ask users to create a default export list it's much easier to remove some unwanted fields or to drop a column in the spreadsheet ** Attachment added: "chricar_tools_export.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-client-web/+bug/693308/+attachment/1773432/+files/chricar_tools_export.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenERP SA's Web Client R&D, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/693308 Title: Import / Export to review in Trunk Status in OpenObject Web Client: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, The import/export tool must be reviewed completly in trunk in order to be easier to use. The main change is the "import compatible" option that allows to export any kind of data (including one2many, many2one, etc) and reimport the file after to update or create new data. The v5 behaviour was unuseable at all. I already commited the changes in the server and GTK client to support this. Only the web client is remaining. Have a look at the attached PDF file for the useability of the two screens to review. Import Tool ----------- The import tool must be simplified. We don't need to select the fields anymore, it will automatically take the columns defined by the first row of the .CSV file. When you select a file, the web client should make a preview of the first three rows. You can change the CSV options "field separator, field delimitor, encoding". Just display the columns as it, without any interpretation. (if they are ID or XML ID, just display the IDs). Export Tool ----------- There is a real difference between the normal mode and the "Import Compatible" mode. If you set the import compatible mode: 1. For every field: - many2one: just display two children: id and .id - many2many: just display this field without children - one2many: normal behaviour 2. When you export, put the name of the fields in the first columns, and not their label. (example: partner_id/id) If you don't set the import compatible mode. For every: 1. For every field: - many2one: you can see all children - many2many: you can see all children - one2many: you can see all children 2. When you export, put the label of the fields in the first columns, and not their name. (example: Partner/ID) I changed the format of the csv file. Instead of "db_id", I used ".id". An example of "import compatible" file exported from partners: id,.id,name,address.id,address/id,address/name base.res_partner_agrolait,3,Agrolait,11,base.res_partner_address_8delivery,Paul This has to be done in trunk, before v6.0. I think it's critical for OpenERP Online users. Test with the GTK client to be sure the behaviour is the same in the web and GTK client. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openerp-dev-web Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openerp-dev-web More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
