Let me know if I’m misunderstanding something here …
Here in Sudan we are exporting two datasets from one instance to another instance that include quite complex standard forms (using sections and grey-out options). All our other datasets use custom forms, and they have come across fine.
However, wth standard section forms, none of the section information comes across (and yes, I’ve poked around in the XML files to check). Is this normal behaviour? If not, is there a way of getting at these section definitions and exporting them?

The import/export I attempted was through the front-end UI (for which sections are not exported when a dataset is selected for metadata detailed export on version 2.21).
When I did an API JSON export and import via the metadata endpoint for the form sections I required, it worked fine.
Thanks

Hi David,
could you tell us how you did the export? Was it from the meta-data export UI in import-export modules, or through API?
