Export/import of widgets

Ask for Help

Hi!

I have on a regular basis to include one or several widgets + data from one document to an already existing one.

I can export the data of a table and import it into the target document. However, I then have to build the relevant widget(s) to the imported table, as the export did not come with the proper metadata.

I know that I can export a document without any data in it, to create a new document from scratch but without having to rebuild the whole widgets structure.

But I could not find in the help file nor the API any way to export a widget (that is: its data and metadata) to upgrade an existing document with it.

Did I miss something, or is it a feature that does not exist (yet :wink:)

Thanks in advance for your input.

Hey Michel!

Unfortunately it is not possible to export/import individual widgets though this would be a really cool idea for a future improvement! I’ll share this with the team!

Thanks,

Thanks a lot, Natalie!

Please let me know if this can indeed be taken into account, this would be a tremendous improvement when dealing with dev and production environments.

Thanks in advance.
