Add custom field wipes existing Gallery links

We’ve used NGG Custom Fields for a long time with the old NextGen, and we finally moved over to the new NextGen.

Previously, creating a new Gallery automatically added the custom field, but the first gallery we created with NextGen 2.0+ didn’t

So we went to the NGG CF page and ticked the box for the new gallery to add the custom field to it. But what it did was wipe out all the custom fields for all the galleries above the first 1,000, so we’ve lost all the input data in more than 1,000 galleries.

It seems we can’t have more than 1000 galleries with a custom field this way, and the only way to add a field to a new gallery is to remove it from an old one.

This is probably caused by NG 2.0+, but if anyone has any suggestions…
