Export/Import Custom Properties

I need to make some bulk updates to some custom interface properties. This not something I do regularly in my role, in fact the last time I did it was when it was still only done via a tool on the server, so high possibility I am doing something wrong.

When I select the properties to export, the resulting CSV (Or excel, doesn't matter) doesn't seem to contain the custom properties, but rather a concatenated and hashed version of them. I am selecting two properties, one is "CarrierName" and the other is "InterfaceRole". The resulting column in the export those is labeled as "sha1(CarrierName|InterfaceRole)" and the fields for that column aren't the expected text but rather stuff like "1489F923C4DCA729178B3E3233458550D8DDDF29".

Expected? Bug?

Sounds like a bug for sure. Are you selecting all the same types of Custom Properties? Such as are you trying to export just the Node custom properties or are you doing something like Node, Interface, and alerts?

That's how it works, I always export to Csv, then use the data option in excel to split it into columns and then delete the hash column. Never had a use for that part of it.
