Need a logic review + corrections.

get_all_channel = await ctx.client.rest.fetch_guild_channels(guild=ctx.guild_id) #type: ignore
the_corpuses = await ctx.client.rest.fetch_guild(guild=1009413973092876388)
for channels in get_all_channel:
    if isinstance(channels, hikari.GuildCategory):
        new_category = await the_corpuses.create_category(
            name=channels.name, #type:ignore
            position=channels.position
        )
        created_category_to_list[channels.position] = new_category.position
        print(created_category_to_list)
    elif isinstance(channels, hikari.TextableGuildChannel):
        new_category_id = created_category_to_list.get(channels.parent_id)
        await the_corpuses.create_text_channel(
            name=channels.name, #type: ignore
            position=new_category_id #type: ignore
        )

I am trying to copy and paste my old server to a newer one. But instead of using templates I want to use this one cause it's just a shift and not a new guild is being created.

What I want to know here:

1. How to. I am not correct with my logic here.
2. Why is there no parameter of parent_id within this:

await the_corpuses.create_text_channel(
            name=channels.name, #type: ignore
            position=new_category_id #type: ignore
        )

While Editing a GuildTextableChannel we do have parent_id while we use the .edit method. But not while creating one.

Ping me when someone replies

There is category parameter where you can insert the category_id where this channel should be a child of

Regarding the correct logic. The thing that may be going wrong like this is if there is a text channel returned where the category channel isnt yet made for. You could first loop through and get the category channels so you can create them first. But you should also store their old and new ids so the text channels are placed in the correct new category if i make any sense (which it looks like you do, but instead of position is you may need to store the old and new category id so you can use category=)

There may be another and smarter way, but I cant think of it, my brain is fried 😅

your brain is absolutely right idk how i missed the category id, maybe i was searching for parent_id parameter instead. And thank you for the logic review. I'd try it tomorrow and get back here.
