Everything in module included for export, but user fields.
There is no Module Manager block in user fields editing section.

Hi Tilt

You are right. Module Manager includes post custom fields but is missing user custom fields (and taxonomy term fields).

We have existing internal feature requests to add this functionality, which requires some work to Types and to MM, but they do not appear to be actively being worked on.

I have raised the issue to point out that this is outstanding and is required by clients and asked the developers to consider prioritising them.

There is no workaround I can offer I'm afraid, and other than passing on your interest to the developers, not much else I can do here, I can't give any kind of timetable as to when the feature may be included.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
