In IFS Cloud 25R2 SU5, a team built a custom external file template from the standard STDVOU template and wanted to export it from External File Assistant so it could be reused across test, staging, UAT and production. No export option (such as Parameter Set 2 or an OutputFile direction) was available.

There is no export or import of external file templates in IFS Cloud. File types are largely fixed with import or export predefined, and the external voucher type is meant for loading data, not exporting it. Creating a file type and template from a view, possible in the older IEE client, is no longer supported. Workaround: in each environment copy the standard template, delete its detail rows, and paste in the detail rows from the environment where it was built. Practical tip: build and test in test, then copy into production; the next production-to-test copy carries it back. Marked Best Answer and accepted by the asker.
