I've got a FileMaker database that my organization has used offline to track memberships for years now... I'm planning to export it to a CSV, then upload it to Community Builder using CBJUICE. Simple enough.
The challenge is that the FileMaker database has about 150 fields for each member. I say "challenge" because from what I can tell, there isn't any way to create custom fields in bulk. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situtation, or am I just going to have to brew some coffee and pull an all-nighter, tediously creating each of these fields "manually"?
There's no bulk field creation or field import feature. Import/Export of most functions is something we'd like to implement in CB 2.0, but for now there is no such feature. You'll need to create the fields manually or try using database queries to insert the new field rows, their values (if is a select type), and their columns (to _comprofiler).
