Is there a way to migrate Visual Task Board from one instance to another using Update set or xml export? Thank you in advance!

I think below tables should include all the vtb related data. 

If you export vtb_board and vtb_lane, that should do. But you should try this on a non-prod env first.

It should bring in the board and lane, but not sure about any theme that you have applied.

Any solution on how to migrate visual task board? I tried exporting xml for above 6 tables but that did not work.

Importing the VTB board record and corresponding vtb lane record should do.

By now, there is an option to "Save Board to XML".
Go to vtb_board.list using the navigator. This will navigate you to the list view of all visual task boards.
Afterwards, select the board you want to transfer to another instance and right-click on the header as shown in the image.

On the target instance, right-click (also in the vtb_board list view) on a column name and select "Import XML"

I hope this helps you and anybody looking for a solution 🙂

Thank you, Björn!

We were able to move the board over easily but it looks like work notes and additional comments did not come over.  Any suggestions?

 

Thank you,

Hi James

The visual taskboard is a set of configuration on how to display the data of the given table.
If you want to have worknotes and comments of a record, you have to transfer them separately.
Also, worknotes and comments are audited and therefore really hard to transport. You can achieve this by cloning. An alternative would by to export/import them as stated in this Knowledge Base article.

I hope this helps You.
