Hi,
Love the concept of this module and getting used to it.
As there is no documentation I was figuring it out intuitively and it is pretty good for that.
However the field tabs don't clearly state what they import the fields too.
So I just imported a ton of fields onto the Comments instead of the Node and had to delete them all.
The reason is both Tabs just read 'Clone Fields'.
Also the Tab Nearest the Comments relates to the Comments and the furthest relates to the Node (just found that out).
However the order of the Tabs goes --- Manage Fields | Manage Display / Comment Fields | Comment Display <---- in pairs of 2.
So I would logically assume is is continued Clone Fields | Clone Comment Fields, but its not, it's reverse.
It'd be much easier to understand firstly if they were labelled with Field and Comment.
If that is problematic due to space considerations, then continuing the Pairing Logic of the Tabs would also make more sense when having to guess.
Hopefully this'll save other people who have lots more fields than I did.
Else, great module, thanks!

joachim commentedI'm afraid I don't use comment on the site I'm using this, so this is going to be a pretty low priority for me.
It would probably be a bit messy to special-case the comment 'Clone fields' tab. Another thign we could certainly do is expand the help text at top of the page, and expand the 'Fields to clone' UI text to say 'Fields to clone from %bundle'.
Care to make a patch? :)

mortona2k commentedThanks for laying that out Bensbury. I just installed the module, saw 2 clone fields tabs, and thought it was just broken. I just cloned a couple fields to a new node, and that worked great though. A very simple fix here could be to just put titles on the page so there's some indication of what the 2 tabs do.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedThis is a fairly old issue, however at least the problem of dual 'Tools' tabs on content type edit pages is still an issue (not sure about other problems mentioned above).
This patch addresses that problem by tweaking the comment Tools tab to add the word 'Comment' and setting a higher weight so it appears after the node Tools tab (as per all other node/comment tabs).
