The Export Approval Data functionality allows to export Approval Configurations in order to import them in another Jira instance.
The sys admin will be able to replace the existing configuration or merge them with the one that already exist.
Notice that the capability to export Approval Data includes all data except the following:
On running an Approval Data export, the app will search referenced entities by usernames (for user key data) and by Name (for other entities, e.g. Project Name, custom field Name, etc.).
In order to allow the operation to succeed the app must be able to identify the username for each referenced user key and the Name or other entities, e.g. Project Name, custom field Name, etc.
