Hi, has anyone used collective.exportimport to migrate sites with plone.formgen to collective.easyform?

Kind of. We migrated PFG to EasyForm in place and then exported it using c.exportimport. There is a branch for older 1.x EasyForm versions: Backport PloneFormGen migration to 1.x by thomasmassmann · Pull Request #278 · collective/collective.easyform · GitHub

@tmassman Nice! I was not aware that the PFG-easyform-migration was backported. That's very useful since it allows to move from Plone 4 to 6 in one go without having to deal with PFG in separate annoying steps.

I have to do the tests in the PR from Maurits comments, but there was no time in the past 2 months But we used it successfully for 3 projects right now

Thanks @tmassman, migrating inplace before exporting worked well.

For Plone 5.0.5 I used the following versions:
collective.easyform = 2.2.1
plone.schemaeditor = 2.0.18
plone.app.textfield = 1.2.8
