Hello claude dunnigan,

I have Checked your Issue at my end, But I did not face any problem. That's why I attached the Screen-short of Export/Import fields.So would you please check It and notify us where you have faced the problem.

Thank you and waiting for your reply!

How does anyone import adresses in adressbook/adresses when base_contact is install, tried even in runbot version 279, to export, i need to uses export all data to get country, city, adresse and adresse2 etc, raison, they are not considered as fields that can be reimported after modification, same thing in import, those fileds are absent ????

was working fine on my mid-dec dev version

This is a consequence of the technical changes that happened for base_contact in 6.1. These changes make base_contact much better integrated with the rest of the system, without needed many extra modules to improve the integration.

As part of these changes, most of the data fields of an address/contact were replaced by "related" virtual fields, which are by nature not compatible with data import. This is the reason why they are only available in "Export all" mode, and not available for import.

We have to look for the best solution to import such data with base_contact installed: it may be via an extra option during import ("import all" similar to "export all"), or by improving the support for import/export of "related" virtual fields in certain cases, or by modifying base_contact to offer another option for import, perhaps via another list view.

Let me assign this to the web team first, we'll discuss possible options with them and come up with a solution.

Thanks for reporting!

Olivier, where could i follow the evolution of the solution, it would be nice to know.

thank you

Xavier will fix it, the current Export with Import compatible do not export function fields AND readonly fields. It should export function field that are not readonly.

Hello Claude,

This is finally fixed after revision 2147 rev-id: <email address hidden> of the OpenERP Web project. You should now see all the fields properly when exporting, and be able to import them afterwards.

Thanks for reporting and for your patience!
