# Export & Import Correct Method?

 * Hi.
 * I am using the latest version of APF and I am trying to get import and export
   to work.
 * I have used the field types ‘export’ & ‘import’. The export seems to export a
   JSON file perfectly fine. However the import gives me an error:
    `The uploaded
   file type is not supported: application/json`
 * My plugin source is hosted here:
    [https://bitbucket.org/ben_noou/noouswatches/src/b1104e39ff7b0a1f30cd06f8ca208dd42536b82b/NoouSwatches.php?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default](https://bitbucket.org/ben_noou/noouswatches/src/b1104e39ff7b0a1f30cd06f8ca208dd42536b82b/NoouSwatches.php?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default)
 * I have seen in the V3 docs there seems to be a slightly different import method
   however I cannot seem to get my head around it. I was wondering if you could 
   provide me with a solution to this?
 * My Current import code:
 *  ` array( // import button
    ‘field_id’ => ‘import_button’, ‘type’ => ‘import’,)`
 * Thank you very much!

 * Can you try adding this method to your admin class?
 *     ```
       /**
        * @callback        filter      import_mime_types_{page slug}
        */
       public function import_mime_types_noou_swatches_options( $aMineTypes ) {
           $aMineTypes[] = 'application/json';
           return $aMineTypes;
       }
       ```

 * Hi Miunosoft.
 * That worked!! Thank you 🙂
 * Is there any way that I can ADD to the list of colours rather than overwrite 
   the current list?
 * Thank you

 * Glad to help!
 * As for a different issue, create a new topic. Make sure to provide details so
   that I can understand as I don’t seem to understand the question in your last
   reply. Thanks!
