Conversation with Oliver Valls
Hi @virgile_deville!
Surveys: yes, we will import questions and answers, but not responses.
Meetings: no, we've not planned this. We consider it content, not configuration.
Proposals: no, we've not planned to support official proposals' import/export. We consider it content, not configuration.
Admin can select: no, admin will not be able to select what to export. Everything will be exported.
Hi @oliver_valls, to better understand it, what is the difference between meetings and surveys in terms of configuration? Why is the structure of a survey considered configuration and not the structure of a meeting?
You are right @carol, maybe it is a little bit subjective or not clear at least.
At first we thougt that the survey may be directly related to some kind of participatory process used as a template, thus it is configuration. In this case questions+answers would not change after import. On the other side, we would not copy what people responded, which we considered the content of the survey, and depends on each specific process.
The meetings instead would change (dates, organizers, etc..) a lot on every process and will probably be a different number of them.
The same for official proposals, we find them specific to each process.
But, as you say, the difference is not clear. We planned the feature like this, if you find it confusing we can remove the import/export of Survey's questions+answers, but we can not add more things to import/export.
@carol I forgot to mention that we checked how the copying of the meetings component works and the meetings are not copied right now.
Makes a lot of sense to me thanks @oliver_valls
Please do not remove the export of surveys questions!
Of course answers should be treated as content (thus ignored)
Of course, we'll not remove current features @microstudi ;)
