Possible bug in Import/Export of DataManagement options?

Joshua Drost

Test device: XGS 107

Firmware: SFOS 18.5.2 MR-2-Build380

Just seeing if anyone else noticed this issue. If you Export the DataManagement portion of the firewall configuration (i.e. the Log Retention periods), the resulting XML file (within the .tar) has a lot of duplicate tags, and the actual descriptions in the GUI don't match the XML tags. If you try to import it to another firewall, that firewall seems to ignore the settings in the import file.

    Hello Joshua,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community.

    Would it be possible to share your exported .XML file so I can compare it with the one I downloaded, it does look like the entries as you mentioned are duplicated, just want to confirm if they’re the same entries

    Regards,

    Hello,

    This is marked as Won't Fix. due to some changes in the workflow that would need to be changed on older and newer versions, including some changes to the Data Management Page and the import-export API Layer.
