    Default Having different fields for different kinds of leads

    Hello All,

    Currently using Sugar Community Edition Version 5.5.0. I had a question about having different fields for different leads. (If that makes sense) For example: I have student leads for Singapore and they have a specific set of fields in the leads module and I have students leads for Japan and they have a different set of fields in the leads module. Is this possible? Or do all the leads have to share these fields. I had the idea of creating a module for each set of different types of leads. What would be the best approach to solving this issue.

    Thanks,

    It is possible, but not out of the box. You would need to invest some time into customizing the manner in which the views work in order to accomplish it.

    Hi sunnysidesounds

    It is pretty possible with the next release of DevToolKit I´m going to publish in few days.
    You will be able to several set of fields to be managed on a module in specific situation, like a dropdown value selected.
