Hello,  
I’m trying to create a task manager , for accounting firm, they have a  
series of regular tasks they need to be able to control , research old  
records,etc… The problem is that all of these tasks have a common  
set of fields ,the problem is that some of them have some specific  
fiels (most of them just text fields). Has anyone developed a similar  
system and/or can give some hints on how I can alow the user to  
generate these feilds on the fly ?

Tanks in advance
