     Import plugins & import form data are new features in Joget DX. These import options are only applicable to apps that has been exported from Joget DX only. If the target environment has an existing version of the app and: If override environment variables are checked, environment variables such as counters (such as the running number created by use of ID Generator Field) will be overridden.
