Error encountered while importing Flow Board 's app data in JSON format

This article explains how to solve the issue encountered while migrating Flow Board App data from one server instance to another server instance.

Prerequisite for resolution

Resolution Steps

To resolve the error, which is likely caused by having the same users on both instances with different unique keys, manually convert the user IDs in the JSON file. This can be achieved by using the search and replace functionality.

Here are the steps to follow to perform the search and replace:

1. Open the JSON file in a text editor or a specialized JSON editor.

2. Use the search functionality in the editor to find the occurrences of the user IDs.
   
   

    

3. Replace the new user key with the existing user keys for the affected user in the JSON from all relevant places.
   
   

4. Save the modified JSON file.

5. Import the JSON to Flow Board.
