Event Export/Import

I am attempting to use the export/import functionality to ease creation of events. I can successfully export the event, modify necessary fields like dates and ID and import the file to create a new event. However I am experiencing the following issues:

1. Discount is not applied to the new event even thought it exists in the export and is populated when imported. Discount type does import correctly.
2. Agendas are not included in the export. Agendas were included in the exported event. I would like to be able to import this data.
3. Auto Register to all Children Events is not included in the export. Auto Register set to YES is populated in the exported event. I'm creating a two day event and would like to import this data.
4. Additional Dates are not included in the export. One additional day is included in the exported event. I would like to create the child event upon import.

Being able to get a complete export of an event would be highly beneficial.

Any thoughts on how these conditions can be resolved.

Hi Jim

Not all data could be exported and imported (especially additional dates and agendas) via Excel like that. So for these kind of events (need additional dates, agendas, speakers...), I would suggest to create events via backend UI instead of creating it via Excel and then import it

Thanks Tuan.
We'll use the export/import feature to reduce a portion of event creation effort and then use the backend to complete the missing information. This is the process we are utilizing today. That said, Discount should be populating since it is included in the export/import files. Can you please look into why this isn't working?

FYI - I've modified Event Custom Fields from Speaker to "Hosts". This is included and populated in the event's Extra Information which exports and imports without issue.

Hi Jim

The discount import should work. Could you please submit a support ticket sending us super user account of your site and the file you are using to import so that I can check to see why it is not working and get it sorted?
