KNX / ETS XML import – cannot choose target Group Address structure (imports always to root)

Area: cc/devices/knx → Import data from ETS

Problem description

In large KNX projects I regularly import only parts of the ETS Group Address structure (XML export), not the whole project.
This is intentional — importing the full ETS project every time is heavy, slow and requires a lot of re-verification.

Typical workflow:

• In ETS I export only a fragment of Group Addresses, e.g. branch 3/2/...

• XML contains correct GroupAddress info with full GA (e.g. 3/2/0)

Example ETS XML export:

<GroupRange Name="SENSORS" RangeStart="6656" RangeEnd="6911">
    <GroupAddress Name="SENSOR1" Address="3/2/0" />
</GroupRange>

Actual behavior in ComfortClick

After import:

• All Group Addresses are placed in devices/knx root

• They are not imported into their logical GA structure (3/2/...)

• There is no option to select target GroupRange / folder

• There is no bulk move option afterwards → everything must be moved one-by-one

This is very time-consuming and error-prone in large projects.

Expected behavior

Current workaround (undesirable)

I have to manually edit the ETS-generated XML and wrap the exported fragment into a higher-level GroupRange, copied from a full ETS export:

<GroupRange Name="FLOOR" RangeStart="6144" RangeEnd="8191">
    <GroupRange Name="SENSORS" RangeStart="6656" RangeEnd="6911">
        <GroupAddress Name="SENSOR1" Address="3/2/0" />
    </GroupRange>
</GroupRange>

This works, but:

• requires manual XML editing

• is error-prone

• is extremely annoying in large / iterative projects

Question / request

Is there:

• a setting to define import target location, or

• a planned improvement to make ETS partial imports respect GA structure, or

• a bulk move feature for imported KNX objects?

This would significantly improve workflows for large KNX projects.

Thanks in advance.
