For example, the application object will be checked too, as soon as the assigned task configuration object is selected.
To ease the selection, you can use the or button and choose one of the options from the list. There is the possibility to check or deselect at once all objects of a certain object type (application, device, POU, task) or all objects at once.

You can reimport the export file in a project by executing the command Import PLCopenXML... .
VAR_GLOBAL and VAR_GLOBAL CONSTANT blocks in one variable list. In case you want to export both, you first will have to separate the variables into 2 separate variable lists.
