Hi all,

Thought I would post my question here after quite a lot fruitless searching.

I have a webform to enter or edit organisational contacts.  I have three different types of organisation contact sub type. 'Services', 'Settings' and 'Affiliated members'.  An organisation could in theory be any, or all three of the different types.

In Civi I have custom fieldsets and custom fields set up for each contact type. These work nicely when entering contact data in the Civi backend. Upon selecting the specific contact sub type the custom fields are then shown.

Can I get a Webform to do the same?

In the CiviCRM tab I've set 'Type of organisation (contact type)' to be 'User select'.  I want staff to be able to select what type of organisation contact they are creating.

However if the option is set as 'User select' then I don’t have any access to the custom fields for each of the specific contact types, just the basic organisation fields.  I can only see and enable custom fields per contact type when I select that contact type.

The only way I can see to make all these fields available to add to the Webform is to pre select all of the contact types.  This however would automatically give all three contact types to organisations which is not what I want.

Has anybody got any ideas or am I trying to do the impossible

Many thanks
