A fresh start on the data import wizard config, which uses existing django-rest-framework serializers to import data from an external file.

Roadmap

  • Implement data import for existing serialises using data-wizard
  • Expose custom API endpoints to handle this process via new react interface
  • Implement front-end user interface elements for data import managing
  • Remove existing custom import logic (lots of custom forms e.g. for BOM data import)
  • Remove django-import-export entirely
  • Use existing "validation" of rest serializers
  • Process final import task using background worker (if possible)
  • Add custom framework for "exporting" data using serializers
  • Allow manual override of field values (see below)

Field Override

For some import processes, we have important "context" information we want to provide. For example, if we are importing a list of "purchase order line items" for a specific order, we do not want to specify the "order" for each row. Instead, we want to override the imported rows with a specific value for the "order" ID. So, we need to be able to override this data somehow...
