Overwriting an Existing SmartList Builder Object Using Import
Charles asked 2 years ago
If you import an XML file from another system then get an updated XML file, is there a way to overwrite the existing SmartList?
I created a SmartList using SLB and sent it to a client. She imported it without an issue. I then modified the SmartList on my system and sent a new XML file to the client. When she tries to import the file, she gets a message the item already exists. Is there a way to overwrite a report or do you need to delete and import?

Charles,
There isn’t currently a way to “update” an existing SmartList.
You would have to delete it and re-import. Or else on your end duplicate that SmartList and give it a different ID before they would be able to import it into their system. it would, of course, then be a separate smartlist at that point which you probably wouldn’t desire.
