Title: Can't import rules in new rules UI?
Post by: pyrodex on January 29, 2026, 04:00:08 PM
I am trying to follow the migration steps but not sure if its a browser issue or UI issue but I can't import the exported rules into the new interface. The import dialog shows no button to press import after selecting the file. I tried on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on macOS.

UPDATE: I figured it out with the little check box.

The button is the checkbox beside the filename

The import procedure for the Static DHCP Mappings .CSV file has the same checkbox and to be honest just a simple regular well known "Import" button would have been a lot better :)

Hi all, please let me know if I should open a new topic, but I am having exactly the same issue. When I try to import (select the previously exported file at step 3 and click the tick box), no rules appear in the new section.  I have opened and had a look at the file itself, and all looks to be "normal". Have tried rebooting the box and import again.  Have tried exporting and importing new file with same result. Not sure where I can find logs to see what is going on.  Any help appreciated (even if just to point me at the logs).  Thank you.

[Edit:  I didnt realise you have to click the drop down and can then see the rules.  My bad]

I am also struggling with this issue. It is not self-explanatory how to start the import, no feedback, no errors, no rules imported, no log. I think there is room for improvement in the import wizard GUI.

Which is planned based on user feedback in 26.1.x ;)

As said elsewhere we did not expect so many people to migrate this quickly.  It's very good, just not expected.


Cheers,
