How to Import
Importing Module Parameters
To import parameters from a previously exported JSON file:
- Navigate to the module you want to import parameters into
- Click on the Export/Import tab in the module edit form
- Click the Import Parameters button
- Select the JSON file you want to import
- A confirmation modal will appear showing:
- Warning about data replacement
- Number of parameters that will be imported
- Important notice about the operation being irreversible
- Click Import Now to proceed or Cancel to abort
- After confirmation, parameters are imported and the page reloads automatically
Important Notes
- Module Must Be Saved First: The module must exist in the database (have an ID) before you can export or import
- Data Replacement: Importing will replace all existing parameters in the module
- Backup Recommended: Always export current parameters before importing new ones
- Module Type Compatibility: Imported parameters should be from a compatible module type (same field names)
- Automatic Reload: Page reloads after import to show updated parameters
Subform Data Handling
When importing subform data:
- The plugin automatically creates additional rows if needed
- All subform fields are populated correctly
- Row relationships are maintained
