Description
Summary
- Add support for exporting controls to a JSON file and importing controls from a JSON file.
- Export should support either all controls or a selected subset.
- Import should load controls from JSON, validate them, and persist them in the database.
Motivation
- Makes it easy to share reusable control bundles across users and environments.
- Enables publishing JSON files for common policies / recommended control sets.
- Provides a straightforward backup and migration path for control definitions.
Current behavior
- Controls can be created, copied, edited, and stored in the database, but there is no import/export flow for sharing or reusing them as files.
- The UI has a Control Store and per-control editing/copy flows, and the server has control CRUD plus validation endpoints, but nothing supports bulk JSON import/export.
Expected behavior
- Users can click Export to download either all controls or a selected subset as a JSON file.
- Users can click Import to upload a JSON file, validate its contents, and store the imported controls in the database.
- The exported format is shareable so common policies/control bundles can be published and reused.
Reproduction (if bug)
- Open the control management / Control Store UI.
- Try to share, back up, or move a set of controls between environments.
- There is no import/export workflow today.
Proposed solution (optional)
- Add an export action in the Control Store that serializes either all controls or a user-selected subset to a versioned JSON payload.
- Add an import flow that parses uploaded JSON, validates each control using existing control-definition and evaluator validation, and persists valid controls.
- Surface conflicts and invalid entries during import instead of failing silently.
- Decide import conflict behavior explicitly (for example: skip existing names, overwrite, or import with rename).
- Decide whether v1 should cover only control definitions or also policy associations.
Additional context
- This feature lines up with the existing UI Control Store and control CRUD / validation APIs.
- Open questions to resolve during implementation:
- JSON schema/versioning for forward compatibility
- Whether import/export should include policy membership or remain controls-only in v1
- UX for duplicate names and partial import failures
