Suggestion: Downloadable pre-filled elements

[thellie]

Just popped into my head, so I have No Eye Deer whether it's possible, viable, or already available... or if I'm thinking clearly...

The ability/option to download an element once it has been created, filled in, and tested - that way if something major occurs and I have to restore to an earlier version, I can re-upload/reinstall the already created elements saving shedloads of time.

If that's possible, then I guess the option to download sets would be good too (list/form/elements, groups of elements, what else..?)...

As you can probably tell, a major restore was just required, and I'm currently recreating about 36 hours worth of elements and other changes lost...

btw
I know there was an option to export as a package way back in Fabrik 2? Or the intention was get it up and running at least... Is this on the horizon with Fabrik 4?

Restore -> from a backup?

Fabrik packages are not longer supported (it was never really working).
For re-using Fabrik forms (including groups + elements) see Conten type https://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?wiki/content-type/

Thanks

Yes, from a backup otherwise it would have been a lot worse.

Full backup is the way to go as troester says or just backup the Fabrik tables. I often do the latter if I'm testing something that's likely to break!
