Exclude Existing Process Categories from Process Template Export Manifest #6293

sanjacornelius · 2024-02-26T22:09:36Z

This PR enhances the export process to prevent redundant entries for process categories in the export process template manifest. By checking if a category already exists in the database before importing, duplicate entries are avoided, resulting in a cleaner import process.

Solution

The solution involves modifying the export process template manifest to unset the ProcessCategory dependency in the exported manifest if the category already exists in the database.

How to Test

Ensure that guided templates are available in your environment by running php artisan processmaker:sync-guided-templates.
Navigate to the Processes section and verify the presence of at least one existing 'Finance' category or keep track of the count of 'Finance' categories.
Initiate a guided template under Processes > Guided Templates.
Upon completion and redirection to the LaunchPad page of the newly created process, verify that no new 'Finance' category is created.
Select the main 'Finance' category and confirm that the newly created process is listed under it.
