Being able to show and hide customfield folders based on contact type.

Kamil Kilic ADM

We like to be able to hide specific custom fields folders in the contacts screen based on some critaria.
I'd like to combine several similar ideas in one idea.

We really should be able to decide what fields show up on the contact record. It gets completely unruly when you need a lot of fields for data. There's no reason to put everything on the front end contact record.

100% needed asap

thanks for consolidating these ideas - i notice this is not getting as much traction because of the several inquiries.

Being able to customize fields/folders based off contact type is very important feature for us right now - hoping this can be updated ASAP.

Has anyone heard of any updates on this? This is critical feature for my line of work.

Set Visibility of Custom Fields by Contact type

Sheldon Mintoft

I’d like to suggest a feature that could really streamline things for us and many other users. The ability to set visibility/groups of custom fields based on contact type. I'd like to be able to create the custom contact types, and then if that contact is a buyer for example, the buyer custom field set shows up under their contact.
Right now, we have a ton of custom fields, and it gets pretty overwhelming. Something like 11 different folders. For instance, if someone is buying a house from us, we don’t need to see all the empty unrelated custom fields related to someone who wants to sell a house, It would make a huge difference to have the option to display only the relevant fields for each contact type. This way, we can keep our data organised and avoid confusion. 
Being able to tailor the fields to fit the specific context of each contact would not only save us time but also enhance the overall user experience. What do you all think?
