Is there a possibility to include the number of students at seperate activities? The reason I need this and add it manually is that while I know the number of students for each year/group/subgroup the number at an activity can vary (be higher or lower than what you would guess from the number of students in year/group/subgroup), because we can always have last years students attending if they didn't pass or have students passing an exam one year in advance. So for me it would be great if I could also import the number of students at an activity when importing activities.
Hmm... yes, you are right! Unfortunately, changing import/export format is always critical for current users. Also
@Vangelis Karafillidis told us to import also the "Active" tag of the activities.
@Volker Dirr is in charge with CSV import/export.
I will also note this suggestion.
hmm...
We should at that to the TODO now.
There are many things missing in csv. But a lot of guys use the current csv already.
As soon as Liviu agrees, I think i will start coding a second version of a csv export. Including more missing features (but skipping the "manual selecting import". That will be much too complicated if we add all features. Maybe an automatic detection could be possible by the header might be possible. Let me think a bit.)

Generally speaking, I think that the facilitation of importing data should be a priority for FET. For example, importing data from CSV files vastly speeds up the whole process. Preparing data via the FET UI is a quite long task. It might also be risky, under the perspective that the user might add incorrect data...
Vangelis.
The problem of more powerful csv files will be, that if i add more features, then these files will be very very large and mostly empty. They won't be as compact as xml files.
So school administration tools should export as xml file. xml is much more save. Also some constaints will be very complicated to export as a csv file, but very easy and small in a xml file.
hmm....
