Hello. Brand new to this NPSP. I have an existing Org on Lightening. It has alot of custom fields within Account, Opportunity, Lead Contact objects (15 years worth) primary tracking sales and sponsorship details based on the sales flow.
I have deployed the trial of NPSP 3 so that I can migrate data over to new Org. So it's completely empty as of now. I used Data Loader to extra all the data from the objects in existing org. However, I cannot import until I have all the new custom fields created.
Question - What is the best way to export the schema (custom fields) from the existing org and bulk create in the new schema/custom fields in the NPSP Org.
I've seen a few tools that will export schema. I don't mind a paid tool. but looking for the easiest way to export schema and update/create schema in the new NPSP Org.
If you’re working with NPSP or a complex org, going with Metadata API or a tool that supports bulk schema migration will save a lot of time and reduce errors.
This guide also walks through an easier approach for creating and migrating objects/fields in bulk:
