@colemanw I've tested this by patching just this PR on the latest 5.46-alpha1. The export works but it requires "Form Core" extension to be enabled, which might not be obvious to many. I only figured that out by looking at the console log and it said "Afform does not exist."

Once I enabled the export works.

Just for testing I tried to rename the search name in the export and import it, but it gives me a db error: already exists. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I understand that with a clone button this is not strictly needed.

Maybe as a follow-up it could have a checkbox to allow someone to overwrite an existing Saved Search if they have the same name.

Oh, actually it did import the search with my changed name despite the error message.

@herbdool if your export includes other stuff like displays, forms, etc you have to change the name of the search they reference too.

Thank you for testing this @herbdool.
That was a good catch, I didn't mean to create a hard-dependency on Afform, as SearchKit thus far has not required it.
I've amended the commit to add a conditional around the Afform bits so it will skip them if that extension is missing. Without Afform enabled, the export screen no longer crashes and looks like this (note no checkbox for "Forms"):
