Description

If new profile fields are created, when using "bulk user actions" and downloading user data, field names are not saved as short name.So when trying to upload users to a different site, it uses the full name field which can be illegal. Could be related to why when trying backup and restore to a new system with new profile fields no user data is included.

Resolving as duplicate of MDL-16929 . Can you, steve, update to latest 1.9.x version and try it again? That should fix the problem.

Feel free to reopen this if problems persist. Thanks and ciao

Closing. It does indeed look like a dupe of that issue.
