Alright.  I'll try to explain as best I can.

We create Rules as sort of a Macro or mini program to speed up our bookkeeping process. Because they are our rules we don't want anyone or any business taking ownership of them, and therefore we Export them and we might also delete them from the live file.  This is one of many reasons to Export them besides backing them up.
Now we come back 1 week later and go to Import them.  Now all of the Rules are Inactive.  That's Okay.  All one needs to do is to flag them all and make them Active.  However, this does not TURN THEM ON.  Why?  Because inside of each Rule is a Flag called Auto Add, and it has been Turned Off during either the Export or the Import of the file.  Looking at the Excel file I can't tell because there is nothing showing this flag.

I am attaching a PIC.  The top shows how programming missed a simple routine of allowing us to turn On the Auto Add switch.  It shows how we can turn OFF the Auto Add switch in a batch but if you select all of your rules, there is no option to turn the Auto Switch On.
The bottom shows the Flag after it comes back in from Importing in the OFF position (previously in the On position)

To summarize:  Either we need to have the Export/Import Routine fixed to leave the Auto Add switch alone or the option to allow us to Auto Add the switch to On needs to be added in the Batch routine.

I hope this gives enough to help understand the issue.

Thank you.
