CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm wondering of something is possible.
I have a website where I want to display a portfolio, a songs section and a video section.
When I post a new video for example, I would like to use (let's say) the news module, with custom fields, specially for the video section. However, I would like to have the same thing for portfolio and songs. But when I ad a special field, its always visible.
Is it possible to assign custom fields to a specific template and then choose that template upon creating a new item (post)? Just like when editing pages. When you select the template, the page reloads with the appropriate (custom) fields.
Hope some one can help.

I'm looking to do the exact same thing. One possibility might be to tie custom fields to certain categories. (in the OPs example, a category of news items called "video" that has certain fields associated with it, different fields for other categories).

Is this currently possible?

LOL, I'm so glad I'm not the only one, and you understood what I am trying to accomplish. 

@jmires: yea, this would be fine too 

With the Expression Engine CMS it works just like this. You assign custom fields to templates, then you have a nice form that is specifically designed for the content you are adding.

Home some genius can add this to CMSMS.

In the news module add your "field Definitions"(custom fields). Then edit your template so in the extra field section it only displays the fields you want.

ie add {if $field->name == "video detail"}

Thanks for your reply 
Yess, I know, this is one way of going about it. However, it's not a very nice one, because, when filling out the form, you'll see all the forms field, even though you only use a specific few.
