There’s a button to Import something: fields, or perhaps a field group. But there’s no way to export fields that I can see. And no indication of what format / how to import fields.

Is this a bug? Maybe. What’s the preferred outcome – remove the button, build the feature, have documentation that explains why I’m mistaken? These are difficult questions to answer.

The button is to import Channel Sets which are exported from the channels listing screen, and in turn will import any fields you have defined in there. I’ll pass this feedback along to James though since it wasn’t clear.

Hi Travis,

Sorry about the confusion, that button should not be in the field manager, It’s something I forgot to remove from the HTML mockups.
