Can you export a DocType including its configuration (fields) and import it in another ERPNext instance?

[Martin_Seibert]

I have created a DocType in a test system and configured fields, scripted validations and dependencies. Now I want to take over these results in the prod system. What is the best and easiest way to do this? Can I do it via export and import?

Just linked this link at another thread. But if you want to manage your customizations I believe that this is the best way to do it. So you still can update your Frappe/erpnext.

Schema modification export (custom fields)

We have 2 ERP Next environements, staging and productions. Sometimes we create some new custom fields in the staging environement and we need to deploy theese changes to the production environement, is it possible to export the “schema” or the updates to the fields to import them to another environement? Thank you

No, you will have to build an app and install the app in new instance.

What you can do from UI is

• Export custom fields in any standard DocType as a CSV file
• Upload the CSV file in another instance to get the custom fields.
