Export/Import custom created menu buttons
Hello,
I'm trying to experiment a bit with the import/export tool of the Aras and I'm having a problem with custom menu items.
As the custom menu buttons were created inside the Administration...

Hi AJ Sebastian,
Thank you for your reply. I managed to realize a successful export/import process on Aras Innovator 12 with a package of buttons, forms and methods, by using the tool you mentioned at your reply. However, I still cannot succeed with the same process on my Aras Innovator 11, as I can't find the parent relationship of the button. Do you have any suggestion, where can I find this?
Thank you!

Hi Chris,
The best way to package up that parent relationship is to do it manually. To do this there are a few steps.
Manually adding an item to a package requires the item/relationship's ID, which is not immediately accessible. You can go into the CommandBarSectionItem Itemtype, and toggle the hidden1/2 flag on the ID property to off. This will display the ID for each instance of that relationship.
You'll have to create a new PackageDefinition within your PackageGroup. You can use your existing packages in 12 as a guideline. You'll have to create an entry for every button you wish to add to your package, using the ID above.
