Title: How to turn off multiple-record custom field set
ThreadText: # How to turn off multiple-record custom field set
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-10-15)
  
  I created a custom field set and initially checked the box "Does this Custom Field Set allow multiple records?". I would prefer to convert this field set back to a single record. I checked the [documentation](https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/organising-your-data/creating-custom-fields/#multiple-record-fieldsets) and I only see information on setting this to true, not setting it back to false. I searched here and don't see a similar question. **Any guidance on how to convert a multi record field set to a single record field set would be much appreciated.**
