Hello to all the K2 fans!

Please bear with my ignorance, I am really new to K2 and I LOVE it!

Starting with different Extra Field Groups, I was wondering if there really isn´t an easy way to just copy an existant Extra Field, for allocating it to a new group.

Let´s say, I have the field "Customer Name", which will be used in all Categories. I created, accordingly to the Categories the Extra Field Groups and started to create the fields for one group. As I do understand until now, I have to re-create the same field from scratch for each group, as I was unable to select more than one and did not find a "Copy" button!

Is it just me, not getting this done in a quicker way?

Thanks for some links or explenations, as this really bothers me.

The extra fields belong to extra field groups. They are meant to be assigned to a category or several categories. There is no "copy button" but you could use mysql to recreate the fields and set them to a different extra field group with another mysql command if you keep up with the record numbers int he sql table.

Thanks for your answer, William.

Duplicating the extra field using the database doesn´t really speed up the process. A simple "Duplicate" functionallity would be huge enhancement for a future version.

Edit: something went wrong while saving the answer. It opened up a new thread instead attaching it to this one.
