There are several hundred Altinn II services (infopath forms) that need to be converted to Altinn 3 apps, prior to the phase-out of Altinn II.
A certain proportion of these require few or no changes (unchanged XSD data model), while others will need some "refurbishing". The hypothesis is that a lot of time can be saved if one can import the existing form as a starting point for further work.
The tool https://github.com/Altinn/altinn2-convert converts XSN files to Altinn 3 apps and handles data model, GUI (pages and elements), texts, bindings between data model and GUI, etc. For example, the Financial Supervisory Authority has tried converting all its approximately 120 services.
### In scope
- [ ] Assess the complexity of the task and establish success criteria
- [ ] Choose a strategy, can AI offer any value beyond altinn2-convert?
- [ ] Suggest further measures
Additional Information
Expected challenges with importing from Infopath files (.CAB, zipped XSN files):
Infopath files lack context between input fields and field description
Fields appear in a different order than how they're defined in the code and the reason is unknown
Expected challenges with importing from PDF:
"Conditional logic" can influence which field gets included in the PDF
It's not certain that we have PDF files for all services (produced by download or completion?)
### Tasks
[ ] Take an export of some Altinn 2 services to understand why previous conversion attempts were not successful.
