🚀 Feature Request: Per-Data Source Data Point Import/Export via CSV/Excel

Currently, Scada-LTS supports importing and exporting Data Points using JSON. While JSON is useful for full system backups or advanced operations, it can be cumbersome when performing quick, bulk edits or managing individual devices with large register counts.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add Export Data Points and Import Data Points options directly within the properties page of each specific Data Source (e.g., a Modbus IP Data Source).

• Export Data Points: Generates a CSV or Excel file containing only the Data Points belonging to that specific Data Source/equipment.
• Import Data Points: Allows re-uploading the modified CSV/Excel file to update or add Data Points directly to that Data Source.

Bulk Editing Capabilities

Editing the exported file externally in Excel/Calc would allow users to:

• Rename Data Points
• Update Slave IDs, Modbus ranges, offsets, and data types
• Add, remove, or duplicate rows to create similar points
• Perform fast mass edits across multiple registers

Example Workflow

1. Select a Data Source (e.g., DP_Example, IP: 192.168.0.1, Port: 502) containing 100 Data Points.
2. Click Export Data Points to generate a CSV/Excel file containing only those 100 points (excluding points from other equipment).
3. Edit the file externally to adjust offsets or duplicate points.
4. Click Import Data Points within DP_Example to apply the updates.

Value / Benefits

• Significantly speeds up commission and configuration for equipment with high register counts.
• Simplifies replication when deploying multiple identical or similar field devices.
• Keeps JSON as the primary tool for complete system backups while providing CSV/Excel as a lightweight, user-friendly alternative for daily engineering tasks.
