    Importing list-based (Dropdown/checkbox) data

    Does CMSImport do a text lookup when importing list-based data from another Umbraco instance? My situation is I have replicated lots of dropdown and checkbox lists to a new Umbraco version but of course the prevalue ID's do not match.

    The text values do match though - so I was hoping this was an in-built feature of the tool. . If not it would be great if you could provide an example of a field adapter for this purpose.

    Hi Barry,

    Dropdown and checkbox values should be converted to text values and then those text values gets imported on the new environment.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    Richard

    Thanks Richard - looking again it seems to have worked for dropdowns, which is fantastic - but not checkboxes. I am importing from v6 to v7. Is there anything else I can do to ensure checkbox prevalues are resolved correctly?

    Hi Barry,

    What was the GUID of the dattype in V6. I'll double check if I wrote the export provider for that type.

    Cheers,

    Richard
