Include field organization ("Configure this view") and field descriptions in source code

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

Is it somehow possible to include the organization and descriptions of fields in the source-code, to be replicated across future deployments? This streamlines the UI across multiple different instances of the same app.

Would be awesome if this is possible through plugins or otherwise.

Actually, since it’s not included in the source-code, are these attributes/configuration included in the Strapi import/export (CLI)

Probably the best way is to use Config Sync plugin.

You can export those configurations as JSON files and check them in to version control.

I was hoping this plugin would include this specific data, it wasn’t immediately obvious from the README - thank you!

I might have just missed the relevant part as well haha

Haha, yeah. It’s kind of a magic solution. You can’t really configure what to export, but it just works :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s honestly perfect :ok_hand:

The plugin is everything I had hoped for :pleading_face:

Understandable, it’s so powerful. And on top of that plug-n-play, and it just works
