I have 3 fields in a tab STATE (dropdown); card number (text) and expiry date (date). Are these stored as a record or are they just individual fields. Do I need to create new fields for card number and expiry date for each STATE? IF I reuse a field in the same Tab will it overwrite the previous entry.
They're stored in _comprofiler with the users database row as a column with the name of the field. If you need more you'll have to create more. A field isn't re-usable in the sense that you make it once and have say 5 of it. I don't see why you'd need to make fields for each state though as your state is a dropdown, which the user can just change as needed unless you're expecting them to supply multiple card numbers.

Hi kyle,
Each person could have a card for each state and each card number would be different as would expiry date. I think I'll just label each field as card_1_state, card_1_number etc. I would only have 6 cards in total so I think that should keep the information together when trying to format for email reminders etc.
Ok, in that case you'll need multiple same fields.

Yup, that'd be what you have to do.
