back with another question -
I'm using toolset to create forms for submitting entries to art shows. We'll display the entries for each show on a separate archive.
Do I need to create unique custom fields for each form or can a I reuse them? Some shows will have overlap of dates if that matters.

For example: I have a field Artwork1 and Artwork1Description. If I use this for Art Show1 can I use it simultaneously for Art SHow2 and have no issues with display on the archive page? I'm thinking yes, but I don't want to mess anything up~

Thanks

Hi Sally,

Let me see if I understood correctly:

You have a custom post type called Art Show. And you assigned to custom fields to that post type called Artwork and Artwork Description.

Now you want to know if you create another post type called Art Show 2 can you use the same custom fields for this post type too?

The answer is yes, that is ok and possible.

You will go to Toolset > Custom Fields, enter the custom fields group in question and at the top select Art Show and Art Show2 as the destination for the custom field group.

If I misunderstood the question please clarify more.

Thanks.
