I have a field group that has quite a few fields in it. For better organization, I would like to move about half of them to a new field group. However, I have a lot of posts with existing data in these fields. Is there a way to move these fields to a new group without losing that information?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
- Create a new custom field group and try to add the existing fields by adding a button "Add New Field" and with the popup presented please select the button "Choose from previously created fields". And select your desired field you want to add to this custom field group and save the custom field group.
- Later visit the custom field group where you created the custom fields previously and delete the desired fields from this group.

I hope this will help you to resolve your issue.
