Description

I have two Vikunja installations based on 0.24.5, and I wanted to export the data out of my local installation and import it on my cloud installation. When doing this, the data is not imported correctly.

For example, in the left I have several projects with subprojects. When the import completes, the parent/child relationship is not maintained. There is also two "Inbox" after completing the import.

Vikunja Version

0.24.5

Browser and version

Firefox 133

Can you reproduce the bug on the Vikunja demo site?

No

Did you use the user export/import or the dump?

Which of the two? User export import or the dump via the cli?
