Export Shortlist/Save to QuickStart?

[bhrangerfan0809]

I created several prospect shortlist on one of my saved games that I turned into a QuickStart, but I'd like to save the shortlists to that QuickStart or export them somehow so that I could import them into that QuickStart. Are either of those two possible?

not 100% sure what you want to do so here is the easy way:

make a quickstart of the league. set it up as you want before creating it. this is done while the league is loaded - i think that might be the misunderstanding... you probably won't have to read below.

if that isn't possible due to something you want, this is a very complicated way to do it:

if you are familiar with using spreadsheets and some very basics of what a database is, you can do it.

it involves exporting from each league - a newly created one and the league from which you want to take players.

you will have to re-use playerID's from the league you are importing to. teamid's must match up too. so if team 4 doesn't exist, you better figure out which team they are going to and get the teamID from settings-league structure or in the exported files.

so you copy over all but the playerID's (and teamID if it is a column) form the league you wish to take players from and make sure their teamID's match up to the correct new teamID in that league.

also, if the year is different, make use of a clear column in the spreadsheet- anywhere. do a simple equation to subtract or add years to the Year of Birth column. copy/fill that equation all the way down. copy and paste new yob column. (hint: if you are dragging it 5000+ rows, you are doing it wrong )

sounds complicated, but takes a matter of a couple minutes to complete, if you know what you are doing. always a good time to learn, if not. the next time will be that much easier.

i have older posts with more info... look it up if needed. with tips like before importing to spreadsheet ignore lines with // or delete them from the file first. all i remember off the top of my head.

I'm even more confused than when I started this thread!
Basically, I want to upload a current quick start to this forum (a 2016 Opening Day QuickStart, basically). I have a bunch of players from future drafts (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019) that are included and I've organized them into shortlists (2016 Draft, 2017 Draft, etc.). Now, when I save it as a quick start and begin playing that quick start, the shortlists are not there (of course, since it's a different manager). I'd like to know if it is possible to transfer those shortlists from my original saved game to that quick start.
