    Meta Box seems to be missing a critical component across most of the Meta Box extensions...
    --> Portability (Export / Import)

    Custom Field Groups (Portability SUPPORTED)
    It looks like Meta Box supports the ability to "Export" and "Import" Custom field groups.
    Can easily go to field group, export a .json file, and then import into another site.

    MB Other Extensions (Portability NOT supported)
    - Custom Post Types
    - Taxonomies
    - Settings Pages
    - Relationships
    - Views
    - Templates

    There seems to be no support to export / import data from these MB extensions. The ones I primarily use are: CPT, Taxonomies, and Settings Pages.

    Can you PLEASE add Portability (export/import) support to your products?

    I would recommend adding two portability functionalities:
    - "Export / Import" with a file. Like you currently have with Custom Fields.
    - "Export / Import / Update" with code. So we can just grab the code, paste the code, or edit the code directly in the browser without having to mess with files. You already partially have this with the "Get PHP code functionality available in all extensions.

    Keep up the great work. Meta Box is amazing.

    Hello there,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Currently, the feature to export settings to the Json file is only available with custom fields. I will inform the development team to consider supporting this feature for other extensions.

    Yes, this is a needed function. Is there a current work-around?
