Hi @vakakpo,

You can share the error that comes when you try to import; there could be several reasons as to why you aren’t able to import / export correctly. Kindly share the steps you took and the error that dit displays. Could you take your XML file and find all category/options/catcombos/++ with name “default” and remove them? hopefully it should work after that too.

Waiting to hear back from you.

Best,
James.

@vakakpo

API call=http://207.180.236.185:8080/api/dataSets/ProjectUID/metadata.json should export all metadata (data elements, category options, …) associated with that project assuming the project is a dataset. i.e substitute ProjectUID with your data set UID.

Then After Import the Json file into http://45.56.91.71:8888/ using the Import/Export App
