Partially fixes #6155, as it is only the basic schema import/export mechanism.

Adds Schema Config import for full schema-localization JSON exports. Note that it can take over a minute to restore a schema as it performs a lot of updates to accomplish.

  • Adds an Import button beside Export in Schema Config.
  • Prompts users to download a backup before importing.
  • Accepts downloaded schema exports and applies localized captions/descriptions for all fields and tables.
  • Skips unknown tables, fields, and unavailable formatters, pick lists, and web links to prevent invalid assignment.
  • Performs all updates atomically so that things are not left partially applied. Standard permissions are enforced based on user policies for the splocale* tables. Preserves table/field permission checks, locking, audit logging, and ModifiedByAgent is linked to the user who initiates the action.
  • Validates schema structure, supported value types, and the existing two-character language/country format.

Import Button:

Import Dialog (after file selection):

Here is where the user can choose to make a backup before importing the new schema. After import, the user will see a loading dialog which will disappear once the import completes:

Error (invalid JSON):

There are some automatic tests, which cover:

  • Importing values and localized strings.
  • Skipping unknown tables and fields.
  • Rejecting malformed schema JSON and invalid value types.
  • Rejecting invalid language formats without writing data (based on what we allow now, e.g., en-us)
  • Skipping missing formatter, pick-list, and web-link references.
  • Preserving atomic writes through the existing CRUD operations.

Manual Testing

This is best tested by exporting various schema config files from different databases. Please test this with complex schemas that have custom pick lists and web links assigned, then import those exports into other databases missing those resources. Test exporting the current database and importing the export you just made while verifying the schema still has all the pick lists and captions assigned the same.

  • Open Schema Config for a collection using a user that has schema-edit permissions.
  • Confirm Export button (in top left) downloads the current full schema-localization JSON.
  • Make changes to various fields in Schema Config and verify Import is disabled until it has been saved.
  • Select Import and download the current schema backup when prompted.
  • Select a full schema export from another database, or reset the schema by importing the config/common/schema_localization_en.json.
  • Review the changed tables and fields, then click Save.
  • Refresh Schema Config and confirm the imported captions and values remain.
  • Try an invalid JSON file (export a query if you need one) and confirm the import is rejected without making any changes to the schema.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added schema localization import tools to Schema Configuration, including a confirmation step and an option to download a backup before importing.
    • Import controls are unavailable to read-only users and while changes are pending.
    • Schema exports include the language, with language codes normalized.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Imports validate schema data and language codes, and report errors for invalid files or language mismatches.
    • Unsupported entries and unavailable references are skipped; matching localized strings are updated or created as needed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds schema localization import support. The backend validates and applies schema JSON through a new endpoint. The Schema Config interface selects files, confirms imports, submits them, and reports errors.

Changes

Schema localization import

Layer / File(s) Summary
Schema import validation and operation building
specifyweb/backend/context/views.py
The backend validates schema values, resolves references, matches existing containers and items, and creates localization update operations.
Import endpoint and API validation
specifyweb/backend/context/urls.py, specifyweb/backend/context/views.py, specifyweb/backend/context/tests/*
A POST route accepts schema JSON and language data, rejects invalid input with HTTP 400, applies valid operations atomically, and has coverage for updates, validation failures, and concurrent imports. The export endpoint can return the normalized language with the schema.
Schema Config import flow
specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/SchemaConfig/*, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/localization/schema.ts
The interface provides JSON file selection, import confirmation, backup download, submission, failure dialogs, disabled states, and English localization strings.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Feature · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 61578

No new merge-blocking issue is established by the supplied evidence. The previously published findings should be handled in their existing threads.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 61578

The import is permission-gated and designed to apply changes atomically, but a large import can hold database locks for an extended period and delay other schema edits. No authorization bypass was established.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: A single bulk import holds its transaction open while locking localization parents and applying all generated writes. Large or repeated imports by an authorized user can delay other schema edits; atomic rollback does not limit lock duration.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A caller permitted to create and update all three localization tables can submit changes across matching containers and items in the current collection's discipline. The observed generator does not select arbitrary schema tables or unknown items.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An authorized caller can initiate repeated bulk imports whose parent locks remain held through the transaction, increasing contention for other schema writers. No unauthorized write path was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The browser sends parsed file contents in a same-origin POST with the AJAX helper's CSRF header. The endpoint has a login-dependent decorator and enforces server-side permissions; when ANONYMOUS_USER is configured, that decorator does not itself require authentication.
  • observed — Generic CRUD creation checks table permission but does not call the update path's field-permission check. The new endpoint nevertheless requires table create and update permissions before it creates localized strings; whether create-field rules are an intended policy requirement remains unresolved.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Validation failures return a bad-request response, and writes occur in one transaction. Parent locking and a concurrent-import test provide counterevidence to partial-write and duplicate-string concerns, but do not bound transaction duration.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define an import size and execution-time budget, and verify the production database timeout and anonymous-user permission configuration. Preserve the current atomicity and per-record authorization guarantees if work is moved out of a synchronous request.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The implementation satisfies the core import flow in #6155: it provides a JSON file input, validates the payload and language, skips unknown or unavailable references, performs the import atomically, and shows an error dialog. It does not provide the required Import All Customizations and Import Localizations Only choices. It sends one localization import request. A successful import also has no confirmation dialog; the current dialog appears only when the schema refresh fails. The reviewed changes do not establish the required user documentation.

Resolution

Add and test the two import modes from #6155. Send the selected mode to the backend and import the defined customization data for All Customizations. Show and test a confirmation after the import and schema refresh succeed. Add user documentation that covers import behavior, troubleshooting, and data that is not carried over.

Full details: Testing Instructions

Explanation

The testing instructions contain an inaccurate save step and an incomplete language condition. Import sends the file directly to schema_localization_import.json, then refreshes the Schema Config page. It does not stage imported changes for the user to review and save. The checklist item “Review the changed tables and fields, then click Save” therefore does not describe the implemented flow. The backend also rejects an export wrapper when its source language does not exactly match the active language. The instruction to import an export from “another database” must require a matching language and country code. The checklist otherwise covers the main export, permission, backup, invalid-file, and persistence paths.

Resolution

Update the manual checklist to state that import writes immediately, then verify the imported values after the automatic page refresh; remove the instruction to click Save after import. Require the source export language and country code to match the active Schema Config language, and add a separate test for a mismatched-language export and its error message. Add a read-only or insufficient-permission check for the Import control and endpoint, and include cancel/backup-download verification so the new frontend states are covered.

Everything passes except that I got an error when importing this json file. It took some minutes before it showed the error message. However it passes once I imported the export from another database.config/common/schema_localization_en.json

I was also able to see the invalid JSON rejection when uploading query export:

499-499: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate imported aggregator values against references['aggregator'].

SCHEMA_IMPORT_FIELDS[Splocalecontainer] includes aggregator, but SCHEMA_IMPORT_REFERENCE_FIELDS does not. Because of this, _schema_import_values never checks an imported aggregator value. It passes the value straight to the container PUT. The endpoint builds references['aggregator'] from DataObjFormatters (lines 656-659), but no code reads that set.

If an export names an aggregator that the target database does not have, the importer saves that name. Aggregation then shows <Aggregator not defined.>. This contradicts the dialog text, which says unavailable references are not assigned. An earlier commit fixed this, but the fix is no longer in the current code.

The fallback in _schema_import_operations (line 581) has a related problem. It builds its keys from SCHEMA_IMPORT_REFERENCE_FIELDS only. It has no itemformat key, so line 617 raises KeyError when a caller omits references.

Proposed fix
-SCHEMA_IMPORT_REFERENCE_FIELDS = {'format', 'picklistname', 'weblinkname'}
+SCHEMA_IMPORT_REFERENCE_FIELDS = {
+    'format', 'aggregator', 'picklistname', 'weblinkname',
+}
-    references = references or {key: set() for key in SCHEMA_IMPORT_REFERENCE_FIELDS}
+    references = references or {
+        key: set() for key in (*SCHEMA_IMPORT_REFERENCE_FIELDS, 'itemformat')
+    }

Please add a test that imports an unknown aggregator and checks that the container's current value does not change.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

- Line 499: Add aggregator to SCHEMA_IMPORT_REFERENCE_FIELDS so
_schema_import_values validates imported aggregator values before the
Splocalecontainer update, preventing unavailable values from being persisted.
