Reference to another BP defined in different file is broken

[lbetz]

Describe the bug

Since 2.2.0 the behaviour of the references to processes in other files changed.

To Reproduce

Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce this issue. Include configuration, logs, etc. to reproduce, if relevant.

Use the following example...

Expected behavior

file_1:
bp1 = @file_2:bp2

file_2:
bp2 = host;Service
display 0;bp1;BP1

Doesn't work anymore. Only setting bp2 in file_2 to display 1 works.

Hi, please provide a working example. You can't reference bp1 in file_2 with display.

[lbetz]

Sorry, name and display name were wrong. But what more I can say?

doesn't work anymore:
file_1:
bp1 = @file_2:bp2

file_2:
bp2 = host;Service
display 0;bp2;BP2

still works:
file_1:
bp1 = @file_2:bp2

file_2:
bp2 = host;Service
display 1;bp2;BP2

Are you able to choose bp2 during an import in the UI?

[lbetz]

I donno because I use the config file to configure BP for this customer. The Costumer has over 15000 hosts and the GUI isn’t able to use. The described config works fine till update the module to the new version. The motivation is, we won’t have hundreds of sub-bp in the GUI.

In a root node you can only import process nodes from the same process, not from other processes (config files). You have to create a root node in your process and in that one you can import process nodes from other processes.
I don't know how it worked before but that's how it seems to work now in 2.2.0.

I just tried this myself and even got an error trying to view bp1 in the UI. (Mentioning this would have tremendously helped @lbetz 😉 ) Though the import is clearly working since the service's state from the imported process is properly loaded.

@mdkamijo He's trying to import a sub-node into a root node already. Importing nodes as true root nodes was never possible.
