Grant profile does not allow mixed types
Created by: shawnholt
I'm exploring the Grant functionality for an exploratory discussion with a potential client.
First, I Now understand the true value of this extension, not only does it create a page for Grants, but it also enables profiles to support Grant field types! Without it, you must assign grant fields to an individual or organization (which I may have to resort to...) This makes The extension indispensable for collecting grants online.
My problem is with mixing field Types on a profile form, I believe this has been addressed for some complex field mixing on profiles, but when I add a Grant field and individual or contact field I'm unable to create the Forum in WordPress (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Multiple-record+Custom+Data+Sets+in+Profiles)
The error is: "Profile search, view and edit are not supported for Profiles which include fields for more than one record type." I do not have view or search enabled. just trying to create.
I see this referenced here: https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4363
This means I can't ask for a first and last name, and birthday.
** A possible workaround for this is to support an arbitrary number of profiles **(I see just 2 supported) like with Event registration.
Is this a limitation of the extension or am I doing something wrong?
