Bug #16234
closed
Technique import doesn't fill all info, manual fixes for known info
Description
I tested techniques from Rudder 4 into 5 and 6.
In 5:
You get the methods imported OK, but you need to copy the method name to report component for each single step. It's a very large manual overhead for the user that could be avoided by filling it by default from the method name if it was found empty.
In 6:
You also need to fill the report component for each step, but now the method name is no longer visible. So you need to copy that from somewhere else - or prettify it, but the general problem stays that now you have to guess what you actually did in that step based on the data in the text boxes of the method. it's a bit awkward & dangerous.
The defaults for methods aren't working so i.e. for package state you need to explicitely fill "latest", "default", "default", "present"

Just noticed that the defaults not working is a general issue in 6.x's NCF, that part is unrelated to importing.

Thank you a lot for reporting this issue Florian, We discussed this a little on Slack and i fixed this issue in #15509 and #16226 and now you should have less issues to import a technique into a 5.0/6.0 technique editor, at least report component should now fallback to method name if not defined or if name is empty.
I need to look at the defaults of methods though, This has not changed for a long time and should work (no value is an empty string "" and the method should treat the case of the empty string as the default value) and open an issue if you have not
I'm closing this issue (only the importing part), we will validate that this is ok before new versions are released
