Hi
I visited this subject a few years ago and was wondering what people prefer to
do in this situation.
Let’s say you have a group of tables with complex relations. You want to copy
them from one structure to another as a coherent block, retaining the relations.
What’s the best way ?
- drag
You could export the XML structure definition and then edit it to only include
the tables and relations you want. Then import it into the target structure.

Hi John
Thanks for that suggestion.
I tried that but in a complex structure it’s quite a footery and unsystematic
process. You’ve got to identify tag blocks indirectly by UUID and so on and I
found it didn’t save much time over just redrawing the relations manually. It
probably works better wh
Hi Peter,
I have not implemented this, but I'm contemplating it for a component that
would need to initially create some table structure in the host component. If
you want to export/import a subset of tables, it seems not too hard to export
the XML structure and then parse it to create a new XM
when you copy multiple tables in the structure editor,
you get the table as well as the relation.
pasting it back to the structure editor removes all ancillaries such as indexes
and links,
but the plugin entry-point allows you to re-create them.

Many thanks Miyako !
I’ll look into both of those approaches. Very promising.
