Is there any best-practise to move user favorites to other instances?

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there is an easy and usable way to move favorites between instances ... I mean not only between connected instances ... .

So sure somehow you could export the sys_user_preference table for the user entries and import again ... but somehow it does not seem to be that easy to filter out only the favorites.

Anyone with a quick solution on this?

What I found out is, the way favorites are stored changed is not with the Release, instead it is based on which UI plugin one is using



If it is UI15 or before then favorites are stored in user preferences


but if it UI16 then favorites are storing in bookmarks table as you mentioned


Good to know.
