Keeping custom dashlets synchronised with files

[Mothra]

When you create custom dashlets, you first have to create an XML file describing them, and run otrs.RebuildConfig.pl to load them in. Thereafter, you can tweak the dashlets via SysConfig, but this means they get out of sync with the original XML files, and a subsequent re-running of otrs.RebuildConfig.pl will revert the dashlets back to whatever is in their files.

Is there an easy way to copy/export any changes you make in the SysConfig back out to the original dashlet XML files (I'm currently having to do this manually)?

Export Settings button doesn't work for this purpose?

I know the export button doesn't make an XML, but are you trying to make a new master or is import from a file ok?

Unfortunately not. Although a convenient way of backing up SysConfig, the format (Perl Module, rather than XML) doesn't make it much easier to update the XML files than copying the values straight from the UI.

so you're trying to make a new master?

Have a look at http://blog.otrs.org/2010/08/01/even-mo ... sysconfig/

this describes how additional XML Files should look like
