Custom Data Groups: Multi-Select "used for"
August 04, 2008, 06:44:35 am
It would be great to be able to select multiple options for the "used for" field in custom data group settings. For example, I've created a participant custom data group that I need to have applied to attendees and volunteers, but not host or speaker.

Also, for participant and event type custom data groups, it really would be great to have the ability to assign those to a specific event, not just a specific participant/event type. If custom fields are event specific, it quickly clutters/confuses the backend registration form to have groups of fields that are not relevant to the event.
EDIT: Just noticed there's an issue out on this already: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3337

Another suggested improvement --
Absent the ability to multi-select custom group usage, it would be useful to have the ability to one-click duplicate a custom group.

Brian - the multi-select "used for" (or alternatively "Copy Custom Group") sounds useful. Can you add it as a candidate to the 2.2 roadmap? thx
