Export reference data -> allow selection of scripts
« on: July 05, 2018, 04:27:35 pm »
I would like an option in the export reference data to select only certain scripts for export.
EA only has an option to export ALL the scripts (including a bunch of temp debug stuff that should never be exported anyway) and that is costing me a lot of time (and thus my customers a lot of money)

Each time I update a script in DEV that needs to be promoted to TEST/PROD
- Export all scripts
- Open the resulting xml file
- Copy paste the script parts I need to a new file (not forgetting the groups if not yet existing on the target model)
- Remove all scripts in the file with only those I copied

That could be so much easier if I could just select the scripts I want to export.

(bonus points if the export feature would automatically detect !INCLUDES and export those as well)

Never thought of doing that export yourself with an add-in? I did that for other reference data in the past.

Yes, I though of it many times, but I never found the time for it, and I figured this should be a standard feature of EA.
And I've never been sufficiently annoyed by it to get me to actually start writing an add-in and/or script for it.
