hi, I have 3 sections in my new website, there is a common multi level field that I need to clone its values across all 3 sections, it is a long list it represents the area where my records are Example: level 1 is country: all countries level 2 is city: so coutry Egypt would have around 100 cities level 3 is subarea: 100s level 4 is compound in subarea

So as you can figure it out it will be a long list, and upone addind new areas I will need to edit all 3 fields across all 3 sections, can I clone these values sone how??

Also please give me feedback about my ongoing work http://index.gates2host.com

The common part for all 3 fields is the "Load Data" dialog:

So, you would have to update the data source only once (.TXT file).
Then you have to do 3 field edits and uploads.

Hi, ok, i have seen this part, but the tree of the multi level is built on the go, so the tree is not created once, but rather a comulative effort, so what I need is to be able to export this data list tree, I know I can upload a file, but how can I export a field with that structure from current field and use to update the other 2 ones?!!

Thank you alot for your continous support. Regards.

I am afraid you can't. Except for working directly with the related DB tables and columns.

There is no tools to export and import. The only way is to write code that will select all values of the field from _js_res_field_multilevel in form of text with + level structure. And then use simple upload in the other field.

Tell me more about your project. Why you have 3 sections? What are those sections for?
