Not really… What can help is VSCode. I didn’t use it during the rewrite of my flat config files (I should have)  
@Udo_Hartmann used it to migrate his setup and it helped him.

> Hehe… slight_smile Well, I have about 160 knx items, all defined through a knx.things file. This was quite a bit of work, but a lot of copy&paste (and slightly change the labels and GAs, I have a well organized GA table…) After all channels were defined, I used VSCode “Create Items from Channels” to generate the items. Worked pretty well slight_smile So, all in all, I would say Pain level 3 to 4 .
