If you're not going to fix this.. at least put in a graphic of a thug with a crowbar breaking a computer or something severe. First timers are almost 100% not likely to get the extent that they will lose their views. In my case, I lost the built in Content view that lets me search content from the back-end administration page. Luckily my test site hasn't been changed yet, and still has the view. I'm not exactly sure how easy it will be for me to eyeball-copy/create it from two browser windows. Is there a better way to extract/import views? If the infrastructure doesn't play well with disabling views.. can you make it easy to export a view to json and import a view from json? Perhaps export all deleted views to a .json file for backup?
I have the same request, except I am not using a contextual filter, just a filter. My JSON data is all uppercase, and I have to type the search values as uppercase or nothing is found in the filter. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can hook into the search filter and manually uppercase the input (or uppercase the comparison would be even better)? I haven't coded Drupal modules since v7, so any code samples, hook names, or resource links would be greatly appreciated.
