drupal : content type CCK - add an existing field disappeared?


I recently installed a drupal from scratch and I'm installing additional modules according to my needs.

The biggest problem I have is that if I go in

admin/content/node-type/NODETYPENAME/fields

(the page where I can edit/add/delete the CCK fields) I can't re-use defined fields the Option Add existing fields simply disappeared (probably it's some module that I don't know about) I have only New Field and New group ..in my other installation I have the Existing Field option where I can reuse already defined fields...

AM I missing something?

my CCK module page looks like this:

Solution

  • Ok, here was the answer, Using existing fields doesn't appear ONLY when you have multiple content types defined and custom CCK fields attached to it
