Issue

  • Web content article do not get updated to the version in LAR, but rather stays on their upgraded version even after importing the LAR.
  • Steps to reproduce- 
    • Go to Global Site.
    • Go to Content and Data --> Web Content
    • Create a Structure and Template.
    • Create a web content with that structure and publish it.
    • Note that web content version is 1.0
    • Export the Web Content LAR
    • Edit the web content and publish with some new changes
    • Note that web content version is changed to 1.1
    • Import the LAR
  • Result->Web content version does not change to 1.0 but remains at 1.1, not reflecting the LAR web content.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0
  • Liferay DXP 7.1
  • Liferay DXP 7.2

Resolution

  • This is not an issue but rather an intended behavior of Liferay.
  • If user's goal is to remove version 1.1 and only have version 1.0 after importing the LAR then user will need to check "Delete Application Data Before Importing" on the import configuration. This will remove all of the Web Content data (articles, structures, templates, etc.) and add in everything that is in the LAR.
