Fields still limited to one channel, but creation process has more steps

Love all the progress I’m seeing so far, especially with the recent style updates in DP4.

I got my hopes up momentarily when I went to create a new field group and saw that there was a list of fields I could pick from when creating or editing it. Momentarily I hoped that this new interface meant that I could in fact assign the same field to multiple field groups.

Alas, once a field is assigned in one field group, it’s still unavailable to select for others. So, this behaviour is unchanged.

But whereas previously I would create a field group and then immediately start adding fields which would automatically be assigned to that field group, I now need to reverse my process and first create all of my fields, and then go back and create my field group and assign all those fields to it. Then later, if I need to add more fields, I need do the same thing again, all involving several steps and interface navigation.

This to me is more clicks for no gain. The process makes sense if field which can live inside multiple field groups, but not if things are status quo.
