    new ContactConfig(true, {TC_COMPANY, TC_PERSON}, typekey.AccountContactRole.get("AuditContact_Ext"),
                          {typekey.PolicyContactRole.get("PolicyAuditContact_Ext")})
    • The first argument indicates whether the contact type is enabled.
    • If you want the contact role to only be a person, then use {TC_PERSON}; or if only a company, use {TC_PERSON}.
    • The third and fourth arguments map AuditContact to PolicyAuditContact. If there are additional policy contact roles that map to AuditContact, add the roles to this line.
