Description

as stated in https://github.com/WeakAuras/WeakAuras2/wiki/API-Documentation I expect the first argument to return a truthy value on succesful importing but it just returns nil.
Checking the Code local status, msg = true, "" is set but it is never returned anywhere but it instead returns ImportNow(data, children, target). That function however does not have a return value.

I might not have explained this properly but hopefully infus understands anyway. Can do a pull request to fix if you want 🤷

That's not a bug. The import process works entirely different now. A PR to add a callback that is called after the import has been canceled, failed or succeded would be something you can propose though.

But I don't think anyone on the team wants to urgently work on improving our import api.
