Thanks Ryan. I have checked the variable loan option and found it well according to need. You have told me in previous posts that upto 10 additional fields can be added in forms but now I have found in 1.3 version that there is no limit. Is this a new feature? But I could not found a way to delete a additional field, I am surprised why this has not been implemented.
