How do I add a custom question to the booking form?

You will have an extra question on an event's booking form.

Before you start

You need permission to manage the event. Name and contact details are always asked; this adds to them.

Steps

1. Open the event from Booking → Events.
2. Under Custom Fields, press Add Field.
3. Enter a Label (unique within the event), choose the Type: Text Box, Text Area, Number or Checkbox, and switch Required on if customers must answer.
4. Press Save.

What you will see

Customers see the question in the last step of the booking page, after their name and contact details.

If something goes wrong

• Labels must be unique, ignoring case and spaces, and not empty.
• Answers are saved by field only, not with the question text. Renaming or removing a field later can leave old answers without their question, and the appointment page in the admin does not display them, so do not rely on them for anything you must see.
• Number fields are plain text boxes with a numeric keypad; they do not check the value.
