 * 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.

   template?**
 * If you want to change one of the supplied templates, here’s a link to a developer
   doc
    - [https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-tweaking-core-templates/](https://connections-pro.com/quicktip-tweaking-core-templates/)
 * 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!
