Exported selected fields from a content type and tried to import them into existing content type on a live server (local server is an exact copy of the live one) and got an error indicating that default value is unacceptable (this is not an exact wording though)... The dogwatch save this message "Illegal choice in 'whatever' element."

Fields from a content type? This doesn't sound like Views. Do you mean CCK?

Yep, definitely sounds CCK

Hi there,

I'm facing the same problem. As far as I've tracked that down, it seems to me that you have exactly the same issue.
When exporting "bool"-fields the export-array shows:

0 =>
  array (
    'widget_type' => 'options_buttons',
    'label' => 'Activity',
    ....
    'field_activity' =>
    array (
      'key' => false,
    ),

Though it should be:

0 =>
  array (
    'widget_type' => 'options_buttons',
    'label' => 'Activity',
    ....
    'field_activity' =>
    array (
      'value' => false,
    ),

Currently I'm simply replacing that with an editor prior importing it again.

Best regards
Stefan
