→Import and Export Custom Fields
You can use the custom field '''Import''' and '''Export''' features to move or copy custom fields from one [[Entity|entity]] to another (or even another instance of [[SmartSimple|SmartSimple]]). The custom fields are exported and importing by using [[XML]] format.

To export a block of custom fields, simply click the ''Export'' button at the top of a list of custom fields. A window will pop up showing the custom field settings in XML format:

The XML block for the entire set of custom fields in the list will be displayed. Individual custom fields are delineated by the ''<customfield> </customfield>'' tags. Simply copy the block of custom fields you want to copy (you can make edits, e.g. to the [[display order]] in a text editor), click on the ''Import'' button at the top of the list of custom fields where you want to place the new fields, paste the XML block into the blank text area and confirm that you want to import the fields by clicking ''Import'' at the bottom of the Import pop-up.
The majority of field settings will be included in the copied fields. Exceptions include:
* any [[Field Permissions]]
* the ''Description'' setting
* any
