I've got it to work by creating one long profile that includes custom fields from my both previous profiles.
When I was adding custom fields I choosed searchable option and tried to save it I got a message "Oops. You can not mark fields as Searchable in a profile that contains fields for multiple record types." I know it is not a bug! I think it was the problem because I was using two profiles at the beginning: one with all custom fields setup as "NO Searchable" and other profile "Personal Details" where I have few searchable fields. I am working with one profile only now and it works perfect. I didn't do a test with two separate profile where all fields would be NOT searchable but I think it will work perfect as well.
Is it a possible to show similar warning message when an admin tries to add two profiles (with fields with different SEARCHABLE settings) on one contribution page? It will save a lot of time (I spent on it few weeks).
Thank you very much you all for your attention and help.

can you please replicate this issue on the demo server and give us exact steps to replicate it. That will help us debug and/or improve the help instructions

thanx

Hi Donald,
That's no problem,
Will it be faster if I'll send to demo super admin custom fields and groups in sql and then I'll build these profiles? My long profiles has about 60 custom fields and most of them are not simple and short. I just try to find the best solution.
Anyway, I will do it. Thank you again

you might want to just create a small subset of your custom fields to illustrate the problem/bug.
