Title: import mpl playlst not creating user fields - should it?
Post by: rjm on July 11, 2012, 12:05:34 pm

1) Export subset of main library as mpl playlist
2) Create new empty library
3) Import mpl playlist
4) I observe user fields are not created

Is this behaving as expected? I hope not. I thought purpose of mpl was to preserve all fields.

How can I preserve all fields in new library?

Note: I prefer not to clone main library and delete stuff because my main library is big and complicated and this approach will be a lot of work and I may miss things that needed to be deleted.

Yes, you have to create your custom fields manually...and yes that is good..

Thank you. Makes sense now that I think about it.
