Export Autocomplete entries?

Hi!

I consider myself a heavy Drafts ser (in time, not in knowledge :zany_face:).

I have to keep $WORK and $PERSONAL devices separate (different iCloud accounts, etc etc), so keeping things in sync is … not easy. I can copy/import Action groups fine, but I’m also moving away from TextExpander, so I’ve got a number of Autocomplete entries that I’d like to copy to the other environment…

How would that be accomplished? I can see from the docs (Autocomplete | Drafts User Guide) that there is a way to “import” Autocomplete, so how would I get to generate an “export” package?

Thanks!

There is no way to do it in bulk. Each individual autocomplete entry has a share button that exports a version of it which can be imported into any installation of drafts.

Wouldn’t it be possible to build an action using autocomplete.getAll(), write to a file, then run a separate bulk import action to loop through with autocomplete.add(), or would that not be a recommended solution here? Just curious!

Yes, that should be possible to create a custom export/import action set.
