Missing relationships when exporting/exporting data

Questions and Answers
1

I’ve noticed something odd whenever I export/import Strapi DB, I have several components that have an Image in its definition, and whenever I export the DB and later import it, the relationships between those Components and the images are lost, breaking the App client.

I also noticed that the sequences aren’t reset whenever importing the DB, which I’m not sure it might be related; but I know for sure that there’s no reference to the files_related_morphs table (or its records) within the jsonl files from the exported file.

As far as I know, the files_related_morphs is responsible of keep the relationships thus, this table isn’t being exported. Is anybody else experiencing this?

The commands I’m using as follow :
yarn strapi export --no-encrypt --file ~/Desktop/exported_db and yarn strapi import -f ~/Desktop/exported_db.tar.gz

Same here. Component images are not retained in either the export/import or transfer processes. We’re currently unable to implement our rollout plan on account of this bug.

To be clear, non-media fields are retained without issue.
