Hi!
There is a way to have multiple lines for custom fields group? Like the + button to add more phones.
i.e. I added a custom fields group called Positions, with position name, from date, to date. One contact may have several of this positions into his/her profile.

I hope it is clear.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Diego - Well the database schema (as of 2.0) is setup to support what you want (multiple instances of a group of custom fields for entered and saved for a contact). However, the user interface for this hasn't been built yet. This feature is currently on the "candidate" list for 2.2.

If you have programming resources and want to take a shot at this (non-trivial though) - contact us on IRC. Otherwise, for now I think the best work-around is to create several instances of each field for your group:

Current Postion Name, From, To
Previous Postion 1 ....
Previous Postion 2

or something like that.
