Allow Importing and Exporting of Product Types Field Layouts in Craft Commerce

[dustinwalker]

Are there any plans to allow constructing product type field layouts, and possibly variants, when managing content using P&T's Commerce Plug-in? Thanks for the great tool.

It's possible that we add that. We haven't used Craft Commerce for a project, so it hasn't really come up for us. I don't think we've ever installed it even to explore.

Any specific use cases we should watch out for?

We're also new to using Commerce. In this case, we're mostly using it for organizing product focused content instead of sections keeping the possibility of adding the checkout process at a future date without a content overhaul.

As such, our use case is pretty narrow at this point: to keep repeated fields across product types (which are sort of like sections) in sync in an easier and less error-prone than diving into the admin interface to manually map them. Because product types can also have variants, which can have unique fields applied to it, I can imagine that being a bit tricky to implement. Keep in mind my perspective is as a front-end developer so I don't know the more detailed logistics.

Thanks for the follow-up. Happy to provide more detail or anything that can help.
