Bug Description
Exporting an OpenVPN connection (don't know if this counts for other connectors)
Things not exported
- On the IPv4 settings tab (I presume the same for IPv6 but didn't test)
- Routes, additional DNS servers, additional search domains
Didn't test addresses.
This defies expectation ; if you export something, you want to be able to import it on another machine with no additional work.

Indeed, the export only exports in the actual VPN format, which does not necessarily contain a way to describe IPv4 or IPv6 settings. This is also so that it can work on any machine, including systems which aren't using NetworkManager, but rather the VPN program directly.
Marking as Wishlist/Triaged; this is a known limitation that may be addressed in the future.
