Hi Discourse team! I’m running into an error when I tried to export a category from our staging environment to our production. For context we have a bunch of topics in staging that we wish to publish on production and copy-pasting would take a long time. Here is the error I run into after running…

Just bumping and seeing if anyone else has experienced this issue?

I think that the script tries to import everything. You might see if you can edit the group out of the json or modify the script to skip the group.

Hi @pfaffman , Thanks for your response! What do you mean by everything? I’ll give that a go and edit the groups out of the json. I thought the tutorial was only for categories / topics so I didn’t expect it to give me a lot more than that Will report back once I test it!
