Hello,

https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/migratetoxwiki/attachments/slides/4678/export/events/attachments/migratetoxwiki/slides/4678/FOSDEM2021_Importing_Data_in_an_Open_Source_Wiki.pdf on slide 24 I can see the Batch Import: file attachment settings page. I know this page is hidden behind xxxa but I can’t figure out where/when I should use the shortcut:

  • when creating the AppWithinMinutes and setting fields ?
  • when running the application with ?sheet=BatchImport.BatchImportSheet added to the URL ?

The UI says the REST request was successful but either the page doesn’t load anything new or there’s a redirection to the same page.

How do I activate xxxa mode to enable file attachment in Batch Import ?

Thanks.

This shortcut is to toggle the advanced mode. To toggle show/hide hidden pages it’s xxxh.

@vmassol Thanks. After enabling the advanced mode you can access this feature by editing the app’s objects.
