Hi, somebody have already experimented the impossibility to import fileds (selecting the replace option)? ![](https://forum.modmore.com/uploads/default/original/1X/424c74bc104bae62ad786ae558953dd834ff898e.png) Do you have some idea? suggestions? ---

Hi Samuel, that’s odd. Any errors in the MODX error log? ---

The only error found was this one… `[2016-07-22 15:47:06] (ERROR @ /nte/assets/components/contentblocks/connector.php) Error 23000 executing statement: INSERT INTO`modx\_contentblocks\_field`(`id`,`parent`,`parent\_properties`,`input`,`name`,`description`,`sortorder`,`category`,`icon`,`icon\_type`,`template`,`properties`,`availability`,`layouts`,`times\_per\_layout`,`times\_per\_page`,`settings`) VALUES (35, 28, '{\"key\":\"title\",\"width\":\"100\"}', 'heading', 'Title', '', 1, 0, '', 'core', '<[[+level]]>[[+value]]', '{\"default_level\":\"h2\",\"available_levels\":\"h2=heading_2,h3=heading_3\",\"use_tinyrte\":\"1\"}', '', '', 0, 0, '[]') Array ( [0] => 23000 [1] => 1062 [2] => Duplicate entry '35' for key 'PRIMARY' )` ---

Hm that sounds like somehow it’s failing to remove the fields first (as it should because you chose replace mode). Any errors about that further up in the log perhaps? ---

Hi Mark, The problem seems not to be with Delete. After some test it appears to be only if a field has a parent. I tried to invert the place of parent in XML (in our case to put ID28 before a child of 28) and the problem still appear. When I choose the REPLACE option, the field are deleted. The import start but stop when an entry with a child is found in XML. If I reload the ContentBlocks Page, I see the import of 3 fields (3 first fields without parents). If I manually empty all fields and choose: - REPLACE -\> KO - OVERRIDE -\> OK Perhaps the process of import is not the same for childs in both options? If I start with no fields, the REPLACE and the OVERRIDE must have the same comportment? isn’t it? Thank you for your help Here an example of export: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/k9qkxo3m1k5co7g/cbField\_v1.0.0.xml?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/k9qkxo3m1k5co7g/cbField_v1.0.0.xml?dl=0) ---

another strange effect of the this problem with the import. After a successful import with overwrite: every properties of the field’s type _repeater_ is doubled! ![](https://forum.modmore.com/uploads/default/original/1X/f3a34be19ac741ffb16b569d49bec90027766d76.png) ---

Strange comportement: if I import the same file on a very fresh install, the first import is OK with option “Override” but next import doesn’t work anymore.
