The main issue is probably with both my ruleset and author replacing a script that executes the actual export:
utility/scripts/export.lua
I had to add a few lines to a function in that script.
I will probably either have to instruct people not to use author when they need to use the export feature from my rulesets, and reactivate author when they want to do use its features,
or I will have to implement a different window to handle the backup/restore of some data nodes, separate from the export utility.

Oh dont worry, I think I expressed poorly.
This is what I mean:
You can perfectly use Author with StarWarsFFG and Genesys.
The issue will happen in case you want to use the feature I created in the Export utility that allows you to generate a library that will not contain information from the description fields in all different records (just like the libraries sevrick shares).
If you look at the /export in both Gen/SW rulesets, you will notice I added an option to check on/off exporting description fields.
The way FG works with exporting, there is no easy way to do it, so what I had to do is:
When it starts exporting, it will:
1 - use the new backup feature from the ruleset and backup all descriptions from the campaign
2 - remove all descriptions
3 - export the module
4 - restore all backed up descriptions
So I had to customize the export script from Core, to do steps 1,2 and 4
It seems author also modifies the same script, and when it is enabled, it means that my customization on the script is not executed
Maybe another way for me to work on the ruleset would be to move steps 1,2 and 4 to the Backup Descriptions database window itself, and not touching the export utility script/window
So if people decided they wanted to export data from all records (talents, skills, etca) without descriptions, they would:
- go the BackupDescriptions window, and choose a new button maybe called "Backup and remove descriptions"
- use /export and export their data + author if they want
- go to BackupDescriptions window, and restore descriptions
It should work fine, I only need to make sure there is no way for people to get confused and misuse this and end up losing their descriptions
Dont worry... there is always a way
