Admin, just adding a new thread that list's a number of changes required to the current Control Module Extract.
1/ The current backup process has to be run one control unit at a time, can we please add a function that allows complete backup of all control units in one go.
2/ The current backup files are very helpful however they (understandably given the point of it) only show the current values.
Can we please have a process that allows for all the possible options to be included so that users are able to see what the current setting is as well as all the possible variations.
Below is a spreadsheet that i created where i envisage a link code to a separate lookup table, thus enabling me to easily view current and possible .
Others options have been discussed,
I am less concerned about the format just having the ability to create a lookup
3/ Label coding, as with the long coding it would be great if we could have a facility to add a label (with language so that for example one field could have an English, French, German, Italian etc value). Simply put i would want to keep the original German as this is what is refered to in most coding sites but when doing a lookup on a field it would help to have a more meaningful description.
4/ Change the output file to a flat CSV Format so that one row has all the information regarding that attribute (making it much easier for us nerds to import into a database), and as Atlas123 pointed out below if we can togle between current and new format that would be even better.
I have added a poll to the request so that people can vote for the various option's that they would like to see.
