Description

It would be great to have the possibility to export the geojson feature (imported and edited or drawn newly) in the ".poly" file format.
Currently, it is possible to import a ".poly" file, but not to export it in the same format.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing .poly import path and the export flow for GeoJSON features, since the issue confirms import works but export does not. Verify the result for both imported and newly drawn or edited features, and consider the work done when either can be exported in .poly format.
