Field Manager

Field Manager is a Craft CMS plugin to help make it easy to manage your fields and field groups.

At this stage, functionality revolves around cloning fields and field groups, but more features are planned!

Install

• Add the fieldmanager directory into your craft/plugins directory.
• Navigate to Settings -> Plugins and click the "Install" button.

Plugin options

• Change the plugin name as it appear in the CP navigation.
• Toggle the visibility of the plugin on the CP navgiation. Handy if you only need to use it from time to time.

Cloning

Ever needed to clone a field - or even a whole field group? You can easily use Field Manager to do both!

Cloning an individual field gives you the opportunity to set its Group, Name, Handle and all other settings related to that field type. Settings available to edit are identical to settings available when using the regular field edit screen.

For cloning a field group, you'll be able to set the Name for this new group. All fields within this group will be duplicated.

One thing to note for field group cloning, is that fields are required to have unique handles. Therefore, Field Manager prefixes each field's handle with the group name you provide. For example, if your new group is called New Group, and it contains a field called Body Content, the field handle will be newGroup_bodyContent.

You may also set this yourself if you choose to, using the Prefix field when cloning a field group. Please note that it needs to be a valid handle (no spaces, no hyphens, underscores only).
