Import
Exported data sets of customization data can be imported to another instance. Each set of data is recognized by its key. If the instance already has values in it and a key with the same name already exist in that instance, its values will be updated to match the data from the export. Otherwise a new set of data will be created. If there is a key thats not included in the exported data set, it remains unchanged.
In order to not cause any data integrity issues, we recommand to not import data from another version of CDCM. On import, there version will be checked and, in case its not matching the version from the data source, a warning will be issued. This warning needs to be confirmed in order to actually execute the import process.
