I am having some very strange behavior with the latest version of DNN.

I have created a custom module that implements the IPortable interface, to allow me to Import/Export certain data from that module.  This module was created a few years ago and has had no issues in prior versions of DNN.  I recently updated it to take advantage of DNN 6's new form patterns and fix some deprecated code.

Anyhow, the module compiles fine and installs perfect.  I can view and import/export data within it.

I have created a custom module category for all my custom modules.  After I assign this module or any module that I have created that implements IPortable, to the module category, the Import and Export links disappear from the module action menu and in the module extension definition the "Is Portable?" is now set to false.  There are no errors or warnings in the event viewer.

I was wondering it anyone else has encountered this issue in the latest version of DNN?  I have noticed that quite a few modules that previously had import/Export capabilities no longer do.  Could this be caused by the same issue that I am encountering?  If not then what steps would be suggested to find and fix this issue.

The only way I have been able to get around this issue was to manually go into the database and set the SupportedFeatures field in the DesktopModules table to be 5 for this module.

Any insight into this issue would be appreciated.  Again, this change does not occur until I assign the module to a category and hit update on the module definition within the extensions manager.

Thank you,
Adam

Found the same behavior.
It happens too when you install a new release of a module and supported features is not set in the dnn file.

I just added the information as a lot of core modules do not have supported features included.As an example if you upgrade the Links module to the latest 6.0.2 the iportable features disapare.


As you stated before you can change in the database or you can reinstal the module with the supported feature in the dnn file.
But it will disapare as soon you change something in the module definition.
A major bug.
