When you create a custom field, as soon as you set Used for to Contacts the Display Style selector appears.

Even if you have not ticked Does this Custom Field Set allow multiple records?, "Tab with table" is included in the list of options for Display style.

If you select it, then try to SAVE, you get an error message "Display Style 'Tab with table' is only supported for multiple-record custom field sets"and you have to select 'Inline' or 'Tab' to be able to save the form.

This is a perfectly valid thing to do, but it would a better user experience if "Tab with table" was only included in the 'display style' options once the custom field was set to allow multiple records.

Is that possible without changing anything else? 

Would it only be possible if Does this Custom Field Set allow multiple records? was a required yes/no radio (without a default) and the "display style" selector did not appear until Yes or No was chosen?

Thanks Coleman.
