There are two things that Im missing with rule migration. First of all, If you have rules they are dosabled, cause you need them from time to time or in very special moment. If these rule/s are disabled at the moemnt you want to migrate, then they are lost. I dont like it.
Maybe migrate the disabled rule/s also to the new grid.

Second.
If there is an error at your rules, maybe the gateway no longer exits. This rule/s are alos gone like the disabled rule. It is okay and make sense, but I alsways get once the small windows with the rule/s that are effected and if you click at this window the information is gone and the information is gone.
Maybe make download button or somewhere are log that I`m able to restore the rule with the correct values.
Or write down a hint, that you should screenshoot that info box before you click at that windows

Reproduce is like migrate the rules 🗡️

Adding disabled (but valid) rules to the list is likely not an issue, but let's wait if this is a popular request (I don't want to complicate things with new options, so it's either always in or always out).

Exporting the validation messages separately would be a feature request for the generic import feature, if you don't mind, can you open a separate ticket for that? (same feature is used in a couple of other areas)

@AdSchellevis thank you for your answer. Ill take your advice and will open a 2nd ticket for "Log for invalid rules" I'm glad that you understand what Im trying to say. I appreciate that. I know "issue" was the wrong category and now it is clear it shoule be two tickets

ok, now I'm confused, we already export disabled rules and allow them to be imported. Just checked with a set of rules on my end.
