Different Lists, Different Information

[LisaW407]

So I have 3 different lists that each collects different information.  But, when I add a custom column to one, the column is included in the other. Just to understand better, I do have some contacts who appear on multiple Contact Lists. This morning, I made a new contact list with different data.  When I uploaded the spreadsheet, the new contact list pulled data from the 1st spreadsheet when that data should not be included. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I didn't map that data. I don't understand that, if I have 2 different lists why 1 would pull data from the other and how do I correct that?

Hello @LisaW407 ,

If you change the columns that display in any of your Contacts list (including the overview), that column will display in others.

There's no way to stop that? It's giving information that I don't want or need in the other lists.  It makes my lists messy and I can't work like this.

This is how the system works with displaying contacts in lists and in the overview. If you need to see a different set of data for a particular list, you can change the column display.

I have done that but it still comes up on the form when we're adding a new client.  I think what bothers me is that I can't get rid of information that is no longer relevant to my business and, instead, that information just sticks with the client and there's no good way to get rid of it.  What's relevant to my business 5 years ago isn't always needed today.
