Move "In Progress" update set to another instance

[xiaix]

So I have an update set in my Dev environment that is "In Progress".

I would like to clone my prod instance into my dev, but don't want to lose my update set that I'm still working in.

So, here are the steps I'd like to perform.

1. Move my "In Progress" update set from DEV into QA.
2. Clone PROD over DEV
3. Move that "In Progress" update set back from QA to DEV

Is this even possible?

I don't want to Complete or Commit this update set.  I just want to gingerly move it around.

when you are exporting the xml from the the "Right Click Form Context Menu" UI action then it will not capture the relates list record. 

kindly use Related Link "Export to XML" , which will extract your customer update in your XML.

Let me know if still you are facing some issue here. 

Note: Generally when clone happened , we mark the in-progress update set as complete and then export it ( Use Export to XML related link ) and once clone complete then import back those xml to the instance .

This saved me! Thank you! If this was my question I would mark this as the resolution.

@xiaix After changing your update sets to complete you would see the option to export the XML under the related list as @Harshvardhan mention. 

To import those back you would need to the Retrieved Update Sets and import the XML file

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

Unfortunately we can not do so, In my PDI I tried modifying OOB UI action and exporting the in progress Update set to other instance but I had to retrieve and commit and committing the update set will automatically close the update set.

I would suggest close the update set, export it and import it to other instance but do not commit or you can simply keep it as a XML file in any share drive and import it back to dev instance commit in dev and then Set the update set state back to in progress.

Kindly mark my answer as Correct and Helpful based on the Impact.
