Groupfields data not updating from existing fields

Hi Kyle,
I have a "huge" site (too big to update the fields by hand) and I would like to replace some of my fields with those group fields. However, they do not seem to take data over from existing fields. Any plan for this being implemented? I have about 30 fields that I want to move to 5 different group fields and about 15.000 users. That makes 450.000 fields to update by hand and that is jsut not feasible.

Would be great to have some kind of solution.
Here is an idea... a button inside groupjive where you can simply match groupfield xyz with field abc and it updates groupfield xyz with value from field abc.

No.

You can try migrating the data using a custom query directly on your database. Data should be JSON stored. Example structure as follows.

[{"cb_text": "Text 1"}, {"cb_text": "Text 2"}]

The above would output 2 rows with the cb_text field in each row being set to the respective values.
