Feature Request when restoring a config during or after installation

not sure which part of forum this is best in so stuck in GD

When you perform an install and tell the installer you grab the configuration from a backup can it automatically ignore the import settings that rely on plugins to work, so they are not brought in

Or can it be set that once installed, it downloads all updates and if you are restoring from a configuration that it automatically installs any plugins required


I guess this is:

https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/1663

Plugin-information is already stored in the config.xml since 19.1 (not just the configuration of the plugins itself, but also which plugins are currently installed), but the top part of the feature is not: hinting at the user that plugins are missing / maybe installing them at the press of a button.


Cheers,
