Tell us what you are trying to do? Create a couple hundred custom fields. It would be great to be able to define them in a spreadsheet template and them import them.

Is there any documentation that you are following? I searched requests and viewed docs on Types. Also checked Types course.

Is there a similar example that we can see? Not really.

What is the link to your site? Shouldn't be needed as this is conceptual.

Hi Laurie,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

I'm afraid, currently, there is no builtin feature or API function to define Toolset Types custom fields, programmatically, and you'll need to add them manually.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/using-custom-fields/ )

However, once these fields have been defined, you can import the custom fields data in them, using third-party import plugins, as explained in this guide:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/how-to-import-content-into-wordpress-using-csv/

If you'd like to see a builtin feature to import and define Toolset custom fields in bulk, you're welcome to submit a feature request at:

regards,
