Can you say more about that? I'm not sure I follow.

#

this is not regarding savaged.us importer.

tacit herald Sep 30, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

Oh, you mean you're trying to impor the JSON from savaged.us onto the actor?

sour umbra Sep 30, 2021, 9:25 PM

#

just in foundry, if you right click an actor (character) and click import data, it asks you to find a json file to import. if i find the savaged.us one i just downloaded, it accepts it and does stuff, but only appears to update the name of the actor not the traits

#

yes

tacit herald Sep 30, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

The data models are different

#

that's what the importer does. It transforms the data

sour umbra Sep 30, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

ah ok so the export to json really isnt useful for anything other than reimporting back to savaged.us

tacit herald Sep 30, 2021, 9:26 PM

#

No, you can use the file import option of Savaged.us Importer to import the savaged.us JSON data

#

You can bulk import files, too

sour umbra Sep 30, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

oh ok i see, if you dont do the live update thing

tacit herald Sep 30, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

Right, there's the API method and the file method

#

the file method is free

sour umbra Sep 30, 2021, 9:27 PM

#

gotcha, ok that make sense

tacit herald Sep 30, 2021, 9:28 PM

#

the API requires a wildcard sub

#

One thing to note...

#

If you import a file from a character, you can update via the API

sour umbra Sep 30, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

ah ok, i'm assuming it has some kind of identifiable UID in there so it knows who to update

tacit herald Sep 30, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

exactly

sour umbra Sep 30, 2021, 9:29 PM

#

great, thanks!
