Business value
Avoid manually exporting and importing multiline text. Use this capability for configuration packages to handle the task with ease and efficiency. This feature is especially useful for businesses that deal with large amounts of multiline texts and need to transfer them between different companies or environments.
Feature details
You can now use BLOB-type fields, which usually contain multiline text, to import and export data with Configuration Packages.
Select Include Field on the Config. Package Fields page to include fields that contain multiline text, such as the Work Description field, in your package.
Export data by selecting the Export to Excel action in the Config. Package Card page to update it in Excel. Update your data in Excel, for example, by adding multiline text in the Work Description column. Make sure to convert data entered in Excel to Base64 encoding.
Back in Business Central, import the updated Excel file by choosing Import from Excel on the Config. Package Card page. After you validate the data, apply it by choosing Apply Package.
When you apply the package, open a sales document that you updated, such as a sales quote, to verify that you imported multiline text to your sales document.
