Why would you want to generate an own export string?

#

Not saying this is the right way but you could also just send your own string with updated data and automatically overwrite the Saved Variable for that Aura to update it there is not really a need to generate a valid import string except you want to press "import" all the time and then you might aswell just Copy C from a discord channel or wago link no?

the fact that you found something just means that there is something to fix.

sounded like they reimplemented it by hand, which wouldn't be that hard

deleting messages doesnt help you.

I deleted the messages to prevent misuse and avoid giving others ideas. "deleting messages doesn't help you" seems quite off

I mean it's just copy paste from the weakauras source no? Can't really "fix" it when it's open source I guess

What exactly is the reason you don't want users to create their own export string?

#

I guess you could import stuff that should normally not be imported ? And if you have wrong formats for some values it could probably break all weakauras at once

#

I don't know how much they check on import but you could probably even import an aura that saves a forbidden function in the saved variables and run this forbidden function in custom code as wa only blocks direct access to stuff like ChatFrame1

Automated import not using built in functions is not future proof, and could turn into automated brick addon data
