Custom Data Field (from duplicable group) not available in Profile Editor
May 06, 2009, 04:51:50 pm
  • I've created a Business Categories custom field group, for which I've enabled duplication (up to three times).
  • I have populated the Category Field, within the Business Categories custom group, as a multi-select. I've enabled the field, made it searchable, entered the options, etc.
  • I've created a Profile called Business Information. In this profile, I've placed a number of business-relevant custom fields from a non-duplicable custom field group.
  • When I try to find my Business Categories:Category field to insert into the profile, it is not available.

Any recommendations? I'm using Civi 2.2.2, within the latest version of Drupal.
Is it because I can't set Duplicable Custom Groups to inline display?

There are only quite limited options for interacting with mulitple custom data fields at this stage. I think the contact screen may be the only way to interact with it currently

Alright--and there's no way to give a Drupal user access to his/her Contact page only?
(Other than exposing parts of it via Profiles?)

Yes. Current implementation allow Multiple Custom Data only for Custom Group of type Contact and for "Tab" display.

Got it.

Ultimately, I wanted the Business Category fields (three of them) to be searchable (using a single search field that would query all instances of the Business Category field).

Is there a way to simulate this with a custom search and three, separate category fields in a non-duplicable custom data group?

Can't you use Advanced Search? If custom fields are marked as searchable they should be available in Advanced Search.

Right, but I want them to be able to search all Business Category fields with one search select box.

Otherwise they'll get quite confused:
Category1 in the Contact will have to map to Category1 in the search, and so on, which would be enormously puzzling for these folks.

Do you want to combine different custom fields in one select ?
