Can't export resources and use them in different namespaces using get --export.

[ammarzia]

If I backup a resource in a namespace using $ oc get --export and then apply it to a different namespace, I get the following error:

error: the namespace from the provided object "dev" does not match the namespace "prod". You must pass '--namespace=dev' to perform this operation.

$ oc get --export exported the dev namespace which means I can only apply it in that namespace. I can't apply it elsewhere. This happens because $ oc get --export exports additional metadata about kubernetes resources that the deprecated $ oc export doesn't export.

It looks like this behavior is intentional:

kubernetes/kubernetes#57898
#10091 (comment)

I can remove namespaces from the resource using jq or yq, but is there a better solution specifically for OpenShift that doesn't involve editing the resource?
