I copied a Form & content type with the batch button  on the top. I had 42 fields in Admin Form and 37 Site Form and after the copy I have only 26 fields and 23 fields in Site Form, why?

So I wanted to add the fields manually, but they don't exist in the Application. What can be the reason for this effect?

Thanks.

That's bit weird, have you tried to turn on firebug and see if there's error message in the console.... do you do the copy after all scripts loaded ?

I have no error message in the console. 

This fields which missing are don't display on the right site, if I creating a new "Form & Content Type" in the the same App Folder. 

So I adding this Field to the seb_place App and App folder. I created this field with the +Button in the Form & Content Type or List & Search Type and added to this App-Folder. I can't see any difference between the orginal fields and self created fields.

Perhaps I have here an error.

Hi Robby,

When you create a field within a Content Type, it is "Locked" to that Content Type and not usable in others. Therefore it is not available to you when you duplicate it.

If you want to share fields across Content Types, either create them in the Field Manager, or click the lock icon in your Content Type so the fields you create won't be locked.

Many thanks for the explanation, so I can't change the status (sharing) for the existing locked fields.  I have to create new fields in the field manager, is that right?
