Custom Data and back end data entry/edit
January 12, 2010, 09:08:08 pm
All of the custom fields show up when I try to edit a contact (back end) and it stops any changes, asking that all required fields be completed. Have I set something up wrong?
Thanks.

possibly. you may have set fields to 'required' when you actually want them required on forms (ie you require the field when you add the field to the profile).

so probably just need to set to 'not required' in the custom data fields, and then 'require' in the profile
