Author Topic: Adding Custom Fields for Contact Sub-Types (Read 477 times)

So I have Contact sub-types, and each sub-type has its own sets of custom data. I'm trying to add custom data for a sub-type to an event report. In the past I could use:

Code: [Select]

protected $_customGroupExtends = array('Participant','Individual');
But I'm getting ONLY those custom groups that are defined as "Individual" without a sub-type (such as "Prospect"). I've tried a few variations, such as "Individual:Prospect", "Individual.Prospect", "Individual_Prospect" to no effect.

Is there a particular syntax I need to follow for the sub-type? Or can this just not be done this way?

I figure I can either change my custom groups to be less specific (not desirable for a whole range of reasons), or add them in a more laborious and specific manner.

Thanks

Well - it occurred to me to see if I actually had any searchable fields in the custom groups ... and sure enough I had a perfect 1:1 relationship between sub-type and no searchable fields.

So ... adding "Individual" to the above statement is sufficient IFF you have also marked your fields properly!
