Is there an easy way for Importing/Exporting Fields?
I'm just working on a selection of Global fields that I'd like to be able to add for each client site. These would be things like Contact Details, Social Links, etc.
EDIT: I created FieldManager for this!
I always write migrations to do this.
Here's and example for changing the label of a field.
You could, of course, do whatever you want - modify fieldlayouts, add/modify/remove fields, etc.
UPDATE
Nowadays I use the Schematic Plugin to transfer all kinds of settings (fields, fieldlayouts, settings etc.) over different setups.

I was looking for a way to duplicate a matrix field to make another variant. This works perfectly for cloning fields and seems to have Export/Import options with a good UI for selecting which field you want to export.
Currently, there isn't a native way to do this.
But it's been discussed many times before and it's still on our radar.
