Issue
- When we export/import web content articles and forms, their IDs sometimes change.
- How to preserve the
structureId and formId during export/import to avoid mismatches between environments?
Environment
- DXP Quarterly Release 2024.Q3.0
Resolution
- Entity IDs are not preserved during import/export, as these fields must adhere to database level constraints.
- The IDs might stay the same when the import targets the exporting site in the same environment.
- Instead of using
structureId or formId, ERC or externalReferenceCode should be used because it will be preserved between environments.
