[daisy] [JIRA] Commented: (DSY-450) allow to define collections and document-types to be exported (even if no documents in the export-set are using them)

[Marc Portier (JIRA)]

Marc Portier commented on DSY-450:
----------------------------------

while at it, maybe this could be extended to allow for explicitely listing namespaces for which the 'fingerprint-namespace-mapping" should be communicated even if there are no associated documents in the export.

allows to pre-allocate the namespace in the target repo's, even if there are not yet any docs in the export

>
> Currently the export-set format can only describe the documents to be included in the export
> Automatically this will pull related definitions for collections and document-types (and parts and fields) into the export so they get created during import (actually, collection-definitions are not even part of the export, they are just created as needed during import)
> When using the export in a 'project development' scenario however it is useful if document-types and collections could be created during import even if the imported set doesn't actually contain any documents for those types or collections.
> Implementing this would therefore assume
> 1/ a change to the export-set.xml file format (see [1]) so it can list extra collections and document-types to be included in the export, and
> 2/ a change to the export format [2] so it can contain collections to be explicitly created
