WooCommerce Product Add-Ons Ultimate allows you to import and export groups and fields between products. So if you have created a group of fields in one product, you can export them to another product. You can:
- Import groups and fields from one or more products to another product
- Import global groups to a product
- Export groups and fields from a product to one or more products
- Export groups and fields from a product to global groups
When you’ve exported groups and fields from one product to another, you can edit them separately. If you want to maintain fields for multiple products from a single location, you can use global groups.
When you’re importing to a product, it doesn’t matter if if already has add-on fields or not.
When you’re exporting, you can select which groups to export – and it doesn’t matter if the product you’re exporting to already has add-ons or not.

All the selected groups and their fields will be imported to your product.
