Import module from another model. What will happen to the time settings of the module?

Hi everyone. if i have below 2 models:

First Model: Time Model Calendar: Num of Past Years: 1 and Num of Future Year: 10

Second Model: Time Model Calendar: Num of Past Years: 1 and Num of Future Year: 2

now if i am going to import module from First Model to Second Model, is the module that i imported will follow the Second Model time settings? or still the first model.?

thank you.

  • Hi @ArthurAng ,

    Importing into the second model will adopt the first model's time setting, resulting in an import error with the message 'Invalid date or timescale identifier'.

    Thanks

  • @ArthurAng - It will import the data till the future year 2 and for rest of the future year, it will fail.

  • To avoid the errors (fails) during the import you can create a saved view in the source model to filter data to be coherent with the target model time scale.
