Is it possible to move existing fields into new groups?

    Hi I’m mid project and belatedly realised that field groups are now active.

    This is great news for organising field groups for end users but I can’t seem to drag my existing fields into new groups, and now I’m too far into my project to recreate them in new field groups (data already attached to existing fields).

    Is there any way that I can move fields between groups without deleting and starting again?

  • Well same question here.
    It’s weird not to be able to drag fields between groups…

    The only way I thought I might be able to do it is to edit the Pods json data that you can export using migrate then re-import it.

    It’s possible to manually cut and paste fields into other groups that way – but it doesn’t seem possible to overwrite an existing pod and I really don’t want to lose any data so haven’t pushed things too far in that direction.

    This is being added to Pods 2.9.

    For now, you can manually update the group meta value for that post in wp_postmeta (the post_id is the field ID). Set it to the other group ID you want to move it to.

    Then flush cache via Pods Admin > Settings > Clear Pods Cache.

    Ah brilliant – cheers Scott, that got me out of a bit of a hole!
