Help Import Fixture FIle
Posted: Wed Apr 01, 2026 2:52 am
Hello All,
So I read the FAQ and am missing a step somewhere.
I found my fixture here: before_2025_10_10/uking_zq01082
If I save as txt - Import sees the file - but Importing does nothing I can see
If I save as XML - then import does not see it
Do I need to convert XML to Text?
thanks in advance

When I save as XML or TXT ... the file content looks like this. This is not like other fixture files I see in the folder
