Description
I'm proposing a feature, that the custom group and field schema is mirrored in the filesystem, and this file can be copied to another instance and used to recreate the database schema.
Creating a new group or field in the UI would update this file, and there would be some mechanism to sync to the file. We should include a version number to ensure that we're always monotonically increasing.
The file could be YAML or XML, and might look like:
{{
groupname:
name: a_group
fields:
fieldname:
name: yer_field
data_type: String
html_type: Text
is_required: 1
is_view: 0
}}
