Drush support for field CRUD operations over entities.
It supports the bulk creation of fields using an Excel file. This feature is specially useful for the creation of content types or entities with a big number of fields.
Installation
This module is a Drush extension, so it may be installed at the /home/user/.drush directory (Linux) or c:\Users\user\.drush under Windows.
cd /home/user/.drush
git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/interdruper/2469367.git drush_entity_field
Now you can use the module commands from your Drupal root dir.
Bulk creation of fields using an Excel file
For using this feature, the PHPExcel library is required. Please download the latest available stable version of the library and copy it to the sites/all/libraries/PHPExcel directory. The module uses the library files directly, so the Libraries module is not required.
