 * The original Pods WP-CLI commands do not support saving fields configurations.`
   wp pods add` is a command to add items to a pod, not define fields.
 * Pods 2.8 introduces a completely revamped CLI interface based on the brand new
   REST API we built for Pods. Documentation will be updated when we get Pods 2.8
   ready for release. It supports single and archive fetching for Pods, Groups, 
   and Fields. It also supports adding, editing, and deleting Pods, Groups, and 
   Fields too. I’m sure you’ll be very happy with what we’ve put together for you.
 * Pods 2.8 is currently slated for Beta release by the end of September if all 
   goes well in our final areas of work where we’re migrating our field type JS 
   code into React.

 * Thanks for the update Scott.
    I’m waiting for the Pods 2.8 beta release.
