Import field defintions in Filemaker 12

I need to define several hundred similar fields in Filemaker 12 (calculating dates in Jan 2010, February 2010 ... November 2025, December 2025) and have created the field definitions in an Excel file. Instead of cutting and pasting them individually into each new field definition box, is there a way to import the file at one time? Thanks!

Your question is not entirely clear. In general, if you choose to import into a new table, fields will be created automatically for you.

That said, I would urge you to reconsider your structure, as having "several hundred similar fields" is almost certainly a mistake that will limit what you can do further down the line. I strongly suspect you should have multiple records instead of multiple fields.
