Changed

• Refactored custom field importer logic to be fully idempotent:
  
  
  
  • Reuses existing categories instead of failing.
  
  
  • Skips existing fields while maintaining consistent import state.
  
  
  
  


• Improved error messages with clearer context (field name, datatype, unsupported types).


• Bumped plugin version to 2.0.0 due to new migration infrastructure and database changes.

Fixed

• Privacy API compliance: moved privacy/provider.php to the correct location (classes/privacy/provider.php)
  to comply with Moodle's privacy subsystem structure.


• Resolved multiple edge-case issues during re-import scenarios (duplicate categories/field shortnames no longer trigger errors).
