[XB] Custom Field Export & Import 1.0.0

Export and import custom field definitions from the XenForo Admin Control Panel using XML files.

Transfer field settings, master titles and descriptions, choice labels, and mapped assignments between installations. Import and Export actions appear on the existing custom field management pages.

Features:​

• Selective XML Export: Choose individual fields or select all, preserving their settings, choice keys, labels and display order.
• Import Preview: Review new and existing fields before saving, with validation errors shown beside incompatible fields.
• Controlled Updates: Skip existing field IDs by default or explicitly update their definitions. Existing content values and translated titles and descriptions are retained.
• Assignment Mapping: Map source forums, categories, departments or products to this installation. Keep existing assignments or replace them with the mapped selection.
• User Group Mapping: Explicitly map referenced user groups instead of reusing source installation IDs.
• Custom Field Groups Support: Transfer group definitions, titles, order, public visibility, Font Awesome icons and CSS classes with [XB] Custom Field Groups. Create groups or map them to existing groups, including empty group definitions.
• Custom Field Icon Support: Transfer field title icons and per-choice icons with [XB] Custom Field Icon. Icons are included as field settings and updated with the field definition.
• Extended Field Settings: Transfer uniqueness, default values, access groups, default trust levels, list layouts, collapse titles, edit approval, requirement bypass, private user fields and thread filter settings from supported PB and OzzModz extensions.
• Atomic Imports: Selected fields, master phrases and assignments are saved together and rolled back if an operation fails.

FAQ:​

• Does this migrate filled field values or translations?
  No. It transfers field definitions, not values belonging to users or content. Use XenForo's language tools to transfer translations.
• What are the file limits?
  Each XML file contains one field type and supports up to 2 MB, 500 fields, 500 choices per field and 500 custom field group definitions. Import it into the same field type on the destination.
