RO CSVI 8.7.0 release
Last month we released RO CSVI 8.6.0 with a new type of export where you can create your own custom SQL queries, this release contains some fixes to make this feature more mature. Further this release features a number of fixes for subform custom fields.
Subform Custom Fields
The Subform Custom Field is an amazing feature to make the use of custom fields very flexible however to support such fields requires a complex set of data to make it possible. This also makes it difficult to support subform fields for import and export, however RO CSVI does support importing and exporting these fields. The documentation has a description on how to use custom fields for import.
Raw fields for subform custom fields
As subform custom fields can be quite complex you may want to export and import them verbatim and not in specific fields. To make this possible, all subform fields are now also available as raw fields. These fields are easily recognizable because they end in _raw.
