Importing Board settings from One board to another

Software
1

Hello guys I am trying to import board settings from one project to other
all setting are successfully imported, but custom rules are not getting imported.

What can be the issue?

Are you using KiCad 9? I noticed this as well and therefore copied them over manually.

It would probably be a good idea to report this on GitLab.

Edit: I tested it again in KiCad 9.0.2 and it seems to work. I think I had this issue in 9.0.0 or 9.0.1. So if yu haven’t already, make sure you are on the most recent release

I am using Kicad 8.0 version

If that is actually correct you should update to the latest V8 revision . . . V8.0.9 if its not correct, then do this first:

Can you paste your version info here please, you can get it from KiCad > Help > About KiCad > Copy Version Info

You should update to the newest version in the 8.x version, which is 8.0.9
