I am currently working on a project with Umbraco and I am kinda stuck at the moment. I am currently able to export and import document types. (Different from the default functionality). However, whenever there is a property editor that doesn't have a default instance (Like MultiNodeTreePicker2) it will crash because it can't find it.
So, is there any way to get the MultiNodeTreePicker2 instance in the project where I export the documenttypes and then import it into my new project? Or to just export the values.
You could create a package with teh changes in it. if you go do developer section, packages, created packages. and right click then you can go through the options to create a package with the doctype and the datatypes it uses in it.
if you save then 'publish' the package you will get a zip file, which contains the config you need to put the doc-type onto another site.
Then on a new project you could install this package (as a Local Package where you get to pick the package file from disk).
You could also use a package like uSync - which writes the configuration for datatypes/doctypes etc out to disk whenever you make a change. you can then move the usync folder between installations and all the settings will be imported / synced when you start the site up (there lots of other config options)
Export config property editor
Hey everyone,

Thanks in advance, Patrick de Mooij

Ah, thanks. Didn't know you get a xml when creating a package. That should be enough for me to figure all of this out.
