New field types in Custom Contact fields

Post by PePan »

Contact Info -> Add new field: Please add the following field types:

- Boolean: True or False. Example in a business contact: Golden Card Member status / Married / US citizen: Yes or No

- Combo-box: Allows to select from a set of predefined standardized values. Benefit: Only specific values can be inserted into the field. Example in a business contact: In the Combo-box field 'Car brand' select from: Mercedes, BMW, Ford, Ferrari, Jaguar. (Toyota was recently removed from the list ;-)

Hi there,

Yes, support this. Since im heavy users on contact this was my concern when want to pro version

1st. At combo box allow us to add/change car-brand (content inside this combo field)

2nd. In combo box different group for each field example for location: example UK, France, Italy, etc.

Example because Im found out seldom type UK or United Kingdom or British ie. This cause me problem when search on particular word when It got few name to call.
When few contact was ok but when grow to hundred and thousand you will headache. At least by this we can standardize.
(Group didnt help on this scenario)

something like this at To-Do -> Location http://s913.photobucket.com/albums/ac333/johngoh09/PIM/
by the way I have store wrong typing how to change it?

3rd. It is possible for adding check box on field available to tick. And export field for what have tick.

Thanks for you all good works

Indeed would be very nice to have those fields. I sell educational products. Would be very good tot have possablity to have contactfields with (bought) Product A (yes/no), Product B (yes/no), Product C (yes/no).... And would be even better when I could put a data to a yes (Product A - yes - 24-04-10).

This would have the benefit that I only have to click on a check-box when filling out this field.

Thank you. We will raise the priority of this feature, though still can not promise any certain version.
