reizoko Field Cloner

Auto-arrange EE7 channel fields into publish layout tabs by naming convention.

Field Grouper for ExpressionEngine 7 Auto-arrange channel fields into publish layout tabs by naming convention. Companion to Field Cloner.

The problem: After cloning fields for multiple languages (title_se, title_de, title_ja), all the clones land in a single “Publish” tab — making the entry form a chaotic mess.

The solution: Pick a source tab (e.g. “Content”), and Field Grouper detects all suffixed counterparts, previews the grouping, and creates matching tabs (“Content SE”, “Content DE”) with fields in the same order as the original.

Features Scans publish layouts for suffix/prefix-grouped fields Duplicates source tab structure per language token Preserves field order from the source tab Preview before applying — see exactly what tabs will be created Custom tab labels via token=Label mapping (e.g. se=Swedish) Configurable delimiter (default _) and affix position (suffix/prefix) Skips fields already assigned to their own tabs — safe to re-run Only moves fields from the “Publish” tab — never disturbs existing custom tabs
