I’ve been wondering about this as well. I’ve done some exports / imports using plugin version 0.3.9 from a production site to a stage site, and it hasn’t worked well for me in the past. Fields have gotten mixed up, and I ended up with values in the wrong fields as well as some duplicated fields.
Has export / import been addressed in more recent versions?
The support for import/export is still crappy. But we are aware of it and It’s something that’s on the road map.
Is the export/import still an issue? What are the other ways of dealing with this issue?
If it is still fo any help to you guys
Take these steps:
in PHPmyadmin
good db: (you might have a differently named options table)
select * from wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘%simple_fields%’
select the 3 results and press export
new db: just insert if it is a new database
if it is a database that already has simplefields installed, first do:
delete from wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE ‘%simple_fields%’
Hope this will help someone.

Thanks a lot!
Re-installed everything on web server to see what I was missing as everything was being imported except Simple Fields.
Your solution worked perfectly.
