Importing relations as "Leave empty"

Hi Everyone,

I have a question and ofcourse I could create a support ticket for that. As the topic is not too urgent and I wanted to start a topic in community therefore, I thought about posting it here.


The topic is the following: for relations we have the possibility to deliberately select, “Leave Empty” and this contributes to the overall completion score of a factsheet (if applicable).

Is there a possibility to import relations via excel on multilple factsheets (say application) as “Leave Empty” instead of manually maintaining it? 

 

I hope I can get some positive answers. 

Thank you in advance. 

 

Best regards.

Hi @Tahir_Waheed, Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. Technically, the “intentionally left blank” relations are not values of the relation itself, but a list of intentionally left blank relation names in another data structure called “naFields” (“not applicable fields”).

If you want to set this via a mass update, you would have to write your own custom script, for example in Python using our LeanIX partner product:

application.update_field(naFields=["relApplicationToUserGroup"])

@Tahir_Waheed I submitted this as an additional use case a while back in the roadmap item https://roadmap.leanix.net/c/188-eam-onboarding-excel-import-improve-excel-import?utm_medium=social&utm_source=portal_share while voting on it.

Perhaps you could do the same with your own justification on why you think it is important/critical to be able to import relations as intentionally empty.

Power to the people!

Hi @Justin Swift thank you for your comment as well! I just upvoted the idea with this functionality to be included in the excel importer :).
