    Default how to create a multiple field in leads, like the email field in contacts

    Hi All,

    I've been searching for a while but haven't found the answer yet. What i would like to do is the following

    In the contacts edit screen there is a field email address(es). You can add multiple email addresses there and each has some attributes.

    I would like to create a field just like that, only different

    i want a field "website" where i can add multiple lines, each line having attributes like "Primary" (yes/no) "Rating" (good/bad/terrible/unspeakable) and maybe a textfield for remarks(yes, per website). You get my drift.

    Any info on this would be much appreciated.

    Another option is to just build a custom website module and to then relate it to the contacts module using Studio so that it shows up as a subpanel under contacts.

    Create a primary record check box then during the save process check to see if it is set. If so, then unset any existing records.

    Cheers
