I'm clicking "done" after chosing to save the mapping field so I don't know why it doesn't then appear as an option.</p>

  I have just saved fields for exporting to a new saved mapping field, but it is not coming up as an option when I go back into the database and try to export the same details for another group. I'm clicking "done" after chosing to save the mapping field so I don't know why it doesn't then appear as an option.
