Updating relationship by importing csv

[Stanley]

Hi

On exporting relations.csv we have the following situation:

ID;Type;Name;Documentation;Source;Target
X;      Y;        ;                      ;        Z;      W

By reusing the same relationship ID we want to change the target therefore we import the following line

ID;Type;Name;Documentation;Source;Target
X;      Y;        ;                      ;        Z;      U

However, the relationship is not updated, therefore is it stil Z Y W and not Z Y U as required.

Is it possible to update the target on a existing relationship?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,

No you can't do it. CSV import only updates name, description and properties, not type of relationship nor source/target.

Depending on your use case, maybe there are some other ways to do it (through a script for example).

Hi,

When I import an edited csv export, deleted properties are not deleted in the original archi repository. Is this as to be expected?

Kind regards, Bart

Hi,

Yes, this is by design. CSV is not meant as a was to fully sync models but a way to import concepts.
