Any update on NC-87666? (Settings export of DataManagement section.)

Question

Is there any update on bug NC-87666? I don't see it listed in the Sophos bug list, under the "Sophos Firewall" section, located here: https://docs.sophos.com/support/kil/index.html 
 Here's a link to the old forum post on the matter: https://community.sophos.com/sophos-xg-firewall/f/discussions/132866/possible-bug-in-import-export-of-datamanagement-options 
 I can confirm this still happens in v19.0.0 GA-Build317 but haven't tested with v19.0.1. 
 For a quick summary of the 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. As an example, <RetainFTPLogsForLast> is listed 3 times -- the first two values are in the format of "X Month" (example: 3 Month) and the third value is listed in the format of a 3-digit number (example: 103).

Hello there, 
 Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community. 
 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. 
 I will ask them to update this to the KIL list. 
 Regards,
