here is the full output of flexible content. i guess i just cant do what i wanted as i have tried specifying the parent as ‘subfields’ i also tried ‘field_subfields’ and neither worked. Its a real shame that we can import simple single fields into other simple field structures but cant do the same with flexible content.

the reason i am trying to do this is I want to manage and reuse parts of flexible content arrays more effectively. Are there any other methods you would suggest?

Array
(
    [ID] => 0
    [key] => field_subfields
    [label] => flexible content
    [name] => flexible_content
    [prefix] => 
    [type] => flexible_content
    [value] => 
    [menu_order] => 0
    [instructions] => 
    [required] => 0
    [id] => 
    [class] => 
    [conditional_logic] => 0
    [parent] => group_56ff5b11d1775
    [wrapper] => Array
        (
            [width] => 
            [class] =>

        )
