The export process doesn’t associate the packages with any specific source in the output JSON. What it does is export a list of packages that it can find from any source you have configured and also exports the details of those sources. If you scroll to the bottom of the JSON file, you should see a section specifically for sources.

When an import is run, it will first set up the sources specified in the file and then will run a winget install for each of the identifiers specified.

Ahh i see so its defining packages and then the source beneath. Fair enough that makes sense was just thrown by the messages appearing. Is there a way to supress them?

Not yet, but it is being tracked by

• Export should allow suppressing missing source warnings #4213
  And should be resolved by
• Make Ignore Warnings suppress the output level entirely #4221
