    Export -> Reimport DataTypes defaulting to 'NText'

    Extending Umbraco

    Hi there,

    I've created a few DataTypes, exported them as a package, and re-imported them on a fresh install. I've noticed that all datatypes have defaulted to NText, which is a bit of a bother - Can anyone shed some light on how I could modify the package.xml to include them as their correct data types?

    Here is a sample exported DataType:

    <DataType Name="Title Dropdown" Id="a74ea9c9-8e18-4d2a-8cf6-73c6206c5da6" Definition="d47a947e-d0b2-4862-94a4-fa2fbe5c2cce">
      <PreValues>
        <PreValue Id="39" Value="Mr" />
        <PreValue Id="40" Value="Mrs" />
        <PreValue Id="41" Value="Dr" />
        <PreValue Id="42" Value="Ms" />
        <PreValue Id="43" Value="Miss" />
      </PreValues>
    </DataType>

    I notice they all have id="a74ea9c9-8e18-4d2a-8cf6-73c6206c5da6" - Are there other values I can substitute to allow for int / nvarchar / datetime?

    I have the same problem - have tried to transfer them via a package but as you say the type seems to revert to NText and the values are all changed/corrupted. Has anyone found a solution/workaround yet?
