Answers.Text: Thx for the quick answer. That is what I was looking for, but I don't need it for Contact, I need it for Contributions. I just used Contacts and hobbies as an example. Ís there a way to enable multiple records for Contributions?

  It is not so much the field you set to multiple, it is the custom group! So for example, many contracts.[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/bjJYo.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/bjJYo.png)
  
  You can add multiple custom fields for contacts ONLY (including individuals, orgnaizations and households). You need to check the box **Does this Custom Field Set allow multiple records?** (see attached screen print) and then you can add multiple hobbies.
