hi!!
I did create some custom fields using "manage views" section like x_gender,x_marital,x_certificates,x_proof etc..I did create a lot of fields like this.But my doubt was is this a recommended way to create fields or should we go to backend and create fields in python code and xml..Will the changes made be constant or they might not get stored in databse due to creation of fields by the above method(manage views)...WILL THERE BE ANY PROBLEM... help me ppl...expecting your reply
