Description

As requested in nextcloud/files_automatedtagging#142 I open a new ticket for this feature request.

It would be nice to have the option of importing and exporting flows. Currently I'm setting up a new installation making heavy use of tags and automated tagging. Afterwards I'd like to use these tags also in another existing installation. At the moment I have to do the work of configuring the flows again. Importing and exporting would save me a lot of time. Furthermore it would be possible to create a "flow repository", where users can find flows from other users and import them into their installation.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the automated-tagging flow configuration and determine the format and scope for importing and exporting flows; the issue also proposes a separate flow repository, so completion criteria need to be clarified before implementation.
