BUG - When exporting/importing the controller config, client names are lost
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Using version 5.4.6 of the software controller, if you export the config settings and then import them into another software controller, all the usernames(client names) are lost.

Please allow me to confirm the information below.
Did you have Clients' History Data (under Settings -> Controller -> History Data Retention) enabled on the Controller?
Do you export the config settings with Settings Only under Settings -> Maintenance -> Backup & Restore?
Is the another software controller also version 5.4.6?

Dear @Alex789,
I don't think the config file exported with Settings Only will contain the client names.
When you export the config file, please change the Retained Data Backup to All Time except Settings Only.

@Fae Are you saying that the configured names are stored in the history?
If so, do the device names dissapear when they fall out of history? If so, that would be an even more significant bug.
