Export entries and re-import to new install

mdj101

Hi All,

I've created a new install on another domain to try and resolve the issue of forms blinking on Ios and Safari browsers.

I've exported and imported the forms, I can see a way of exporting the entries to CSV etc, but can't see any way of importing these into the newly installed machform?

Any help much appreciated.

There doesn't seem to be any way within the Machform admin to import entries as you have already identified, and the Import/Export toos is concerned with the form structure, rather than the actual Entry records.

The import is definitely the one thing that's missing from this application.

Possibly you can get Appnitro support to do this. If you can export the database to a *.sql file, they can probably do the import, if you're not sure about the operations to do so in PhpMyAdmin.

It is sad that we're in 2020, on a version 14 (assumably there have been at least 14 prior versions?), and yet we lack this, which I consider basic functionality. Almost every data entry program, including alternatives/competitors to Machform, have this functionality because people use it! So disappointing.
