    Hi Miraks,

    Aras does provide a Batchloader utility to subscribers that can support batch AML updates of any kind including ones using custom actions like you're trying to do.

    However, I don't think this is possible with the standard Import/Export tools. Most if not all of the standard actions are available through these tools however. If you need to do any ItemType cleanup, you can store some delete statements either in separate files or appended to the AML of one of your other files. Similarly, if you need to update any lists, I've been able to run edit actions inside of import packages before as well.

    As a last alternative, you could write a simple script to send this custom action request to the server via the REST API.
