Answers.Body: <p>I have not tested this approach but you should be able to create a CiviCRM profile under (/civicrm/admin/uf/group/add?action=add&amp;reset=1). Then add all the fields you need (incl. subtypes) and then use the URL of the profile(something like civicrm/profile/create?gid=XX&amp;reset=1) if you want to create contacts.</p>
  
  <p>For quicker access you could add a link to the profile in the navigation menu or put the profile in a drupal block.</p>

  **The need**
  
  I need to create contacts that have more than one contact subtype assigned. For example *Student + Parent*.
  
  **Slow approaches**
  
  * If I create the contact directly from the menu link *Contacts > New Individual > New Student*, then it is not possible to assign it a second subtype on the immediat form. It is necessary first save the contact and then re-edit to add the second contact subtype.
  * Also it's possible to create the contact from the menu link *Contacts > New Individual* and then assign the needed contact subtypes on the immediat form. But this option is confusing by our users as they hope to create an Student or a Parent but not a Individual.
  
  **There is a more direct approach to this need?**
  
  Maybe I expected to find the possibility to add an item to the menu of contacts that allow us to create directly a contact with multiple contact subtypes with and URL like `civicrm/contact/add?ct=Individual&cst=Student+Parent&reset=1`.
