[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.

Import Notes:​

• Field IDs: IDs stay the same. XenForo rejects incompatible field type changes.
• Field Groups: Assigned groups are included by default when [XB] Custom Field Groups is active. You can also export extra or empty groups, including groups without fields. To exclude groups, clear the assigned-groups checkbox and select no extra groups. Import lets you keep or map field group assignments and choose whether to update existing group settings.
• Field Icons: [XB] Custom Field Icon settings are included automatically for supported field types. The destination needs matching support. Files without icon settings keep existing icons for unchanged choices. Transfer style properties separately with XenForo styles.
• Assignments: Unmapped assignments are skipped. You can leave mappings empty when keeping an existing field's assignments.
• User Groups: Map every user group referenced by fields being imported. The all-groups setting needs no mapping.

---

Requirements:​

• XenForo 2.3.0 or newer.
• [XB] Core Library 1.0.0 or newer.

---

Useful for:​

• Reusing a standard set of custom fields across multiple XenForo communities.
• Transferring field definitions from a development installation to a live forum.
• Keeping XML copies of field definitions for later reuse.

---

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.
