Adding the same existing field twice(more than once) within same content type

I want to reuse the same existing field more than once within the same content type.

Assume that ContentType1 has a field Phone-Number.

Now I want to use the existing field Phone-Number from ContentType1 within ContentType2, but three times. A开发者_高级运维ssume that I want to have contact numbers of three people in the ContentType2. So I want to use the existing field Phone-Number thrice.

It doesn't allow, as once I add the existing field it doesn't appear next time. I tried to export and import. But that didn't work either

A content type can only have a particular field added to it once - this is by design and cannot be changed without some serious hacking of the module. You can change the field's settings to allow for multiple values, I think this is as close as you're going to get though.

Yes you cannot add the same existing field multiple time in same content type. You can Use the every existing field only once in every content type.
