    I am attempting to create a directory for our condo association. I only need to fields for: last name1, first name1, last name2, first name 2, Unit #, phone1, phone2

    We have a CSV file with the 500 owners that I can import. But I would like to match the displayed field names to the data.

    Is there a way for me to create a custom template or to edit an existing template?

    An Entry can only have a single first and last name. However, it is possible to add several phone numbers to a single Entry.

    You could import each as their own Entry or, thru custom code, a secondary “tenant” first, last name, and phone number fields could be added. There could be another couple of options; it really depends on the result, the goal at which route would be best.

    If you want to change one of the supplied templates, here’s a link to a developer doc

    It gives the basics on making a copy of it so it can be altered however you wish without worry that it will be lost when the core Connections plugin is updated.

    Here’s another method using custom template override files. These instructions work with all of the Connections templates:

    I hope this helps!
