Description Katrin Fischer 2019-07-29 19:04:42 UTC
Michael Kuhn reported on the mailing list:

As usual when creating a new framework I did export the standard framework in XML format, created a new framework ABC and the imported the XML file into the new framework ABC.

I tried to do this in virgin installations of Koha 18.11.04 and Koha 19.05.00 but instead of importing all 345 MARC fields, only 102 were actually imported.


I've verified this on master with the same result:

- Pick any framwork, I used Kit
- Export it using the XML format
- Create a new framework, name it as you want
- Import using the downloaded XML file
- Compare both frameworks
- Verify that the number of fields is different
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2019-08-05 19:09:48 UTC
Is this a regression or it never worked?

Note: I exported the default framework, the import process is broken: 020 is the first non imported field and it is in the generated .xml file.

CSV is ok
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2019-08-06 21:14:12 UTC
I am not sure, we've always used the OpenDocument format, so I have never run into this so far.
Comment 3 Katrin Fischer 2019-10-21 06:07:40 UTC
Why does this not show up on the dashboard with the other criticals?

We display the bug reports created in the last 60 days if the status is NEW, ASSIGNED, In disussion, FQA or does not apply.

Bug 23398: Disable the XML import/export format for biblio framework

It gives incomplete results and not sure it ever worked.
To prevent data loss it is better to remove this option.

Note that the code in C4/ImportExportFramework.pm is too complex to
attach with this patch to deletion of the code related to the XML
import/export. Safer to keep it for a separate bug report.

Test plan:
Import/export biblio frameworks and confirm that there is no more
reference to the xml format.

Comment 8 Martin Renvoize (ashimema) 2019-11-07 14:50:54 UTC
Code scans well and does what is expected. 

I agree to the pragmatic decision of just removing the option at this point too.

Signing off.
