Unlimited Custom Fields (UCF's) allow administrators above Association level (I.e. National or State organisations) to create as many custom fields as they need. These may also be available for clubs that wish to create custom fields to add to registration forms and member profiles.
NOTE: If you are a club admin and don't see this option within your database, your sport may not have the option enabled. Please contact your state/national body directly should you wish to explore enabling Unlimited Custom Fields. If you are a state body, please contact your national body regarding this. If you are a national body please contact our support team who can check to see if this is enabled.
If you are an Association administrators, please read our Custom Fields article for more information on creating custom fields at your level.
