Answers.Text: Warning! Depending on the report, it may not display all the records in the multi record set — it may choose one, arbitrarily, for each contact. For example, the Flexible Contact Report included with Fuzion's Extended Reports extension can handle multi-record custom fields, but make sure you set your filters so that the one record displayed on each line is the one you want. Or choose "group by Contact ID" so they'll be concatenated.

Answers.Text: To @NoahMiller, thanks for the tip, but how / where do you set the "set your filters so that the one record displayed on each line is the one you want"? I've created an extended report, but cannot find the option. I am trying to create a report, for a specific contact that will list all entries of a custom field set (multiple records). Thank you
