Experimenting with the Custom Fields system
We have launched an experimental alternative method for creating Contact Forms. These are called Custom Forms for Contacts and use the Custom Forms system which is currently used for Case Forms. Custom Forms for Contacts are not fully compatible with all the functionality on Makerble therefore we recommend that you continue to use Contact Forms unless you want to trial this new method.
Fields created under the Categories system are not compatible with fields created under the Custom Forms system. Review the compatibility of fields.
