Configure contributor fields
Contributor fields are useful when the same set of information is required for every contributor. These fields can be used to gather data such as a contributor's name, email address, title, and more. For example, if your applicants need to submit information for every member in their project, you can setup fields such as first & last name, designation, role, email, etc. The same set of fields will be shown for every member they add.
