Hi there,

To ensure the custom field appears in the correct application, please navigate to the Custom Field List and update the “Module (for export)” field to match the desired module name.

Check this; you can apply a filter for exporting fields. I have given an example of exporting a specific workspace; you can apply a filter for custom fields.

You should provide modules for all custom fields in the custom field doctype.
Then you should add fixture hooks for custom fields on both your custom apps with the proper filters for modules.
This way the json will be created per app with its own custom fields.

App 1 hooks.py

fixtures = [
    {
        "doctype":"Custom Field", "filters":{"module":["in",["module_1"]]}
    }
]

App 2 hooks.py

fixtures = [
    {
        "doctype":"Custom Field", "filters":{"module":["in",["module_2"]]}
    }
]

Then in the terminal you need to give

bench --site site_name export-fixtures

if i have more custom fields then ? and how to export column break and section break

Column breaks and sections breaks will also be created as a record in the custom field doctype. Just give the proper modules for them and export fixtures. This will allow the fields to be added to the app. When you install the app or migrate it the fixtures will get added.
