Title: updated to 26.1_4, exported and imported old rules, - screen needs work
Post by: coffeecup25 on February 01, 2026, 04:15:37 PM
I updated to 26.1_4 with no issues. Very smooth. I exported my current rules, all 6 or so of them, into a csv. I tried to upload the csv into the new screen. Yes, I imported them in the right place. Yes I clicked 'Apply'. Yes, the csv had records.

Nothing happened. I did it 2x. Nothing happened. I rebooted. Nothing happened.

My rules are default LAN rules, default LAN rules copied to IOT and edited. Then rules in both to restrict LAN from IOT and vice versa.

Whatever other rules that might be there are the ones that came from the base install. No idea about them.

So how is this thing supposed to work as a simple import doesn't appear to do anything?

Happily, I tried the upgrade and migration on a backup router.

EDIT:

Like the other post, I found the check box.

I don't mean to be rude, but somebody needs to work on that screen a little more. It was already checked so why would I check a box that alread has a check mark???

I wasted an hour on this.

See : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=50567.msg258716#msg258716

TL;DR : It's work in progress and there will be a lot of improvements to avoid misunderstandings :)

I thought the check mark was odd as well, and that it indicated the CSV had been parsed successfully, but I was looking for a "Go" or arrow or "Submit" button, but after a few seconds I clicked on the check mark and Bob was suddenly my uncle.

+1 when moving from ISC DHCP to KEA DHCP and Importing/Exporting the Static DHCP Mappings but it did not took me a hour to figure it out :)
