Getting existing fields to become part of a field collection

Hi,

I recently discovered Field Collection and it appears to be just what I need. I create the collection, add the fields, and everything is set to go. However, I must be missing something. I have fields I have already created that have content within them - how do I combine those into a field collection? Reusing the fields under Structure>Field Collection gives me a new set of fields to populate. I would instead like to take the fields I already created and populated and transform them into a collection. Any support would be most appreciated. Thank you!

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

  • I know D7 isn't supported anymore, but for projects that can't afford migration to D10, this feature is still essential to the module. So any solution would be very welcome !
