NXT: Event module - online registration form - custom fields and attributes missing

I have been working in the new online registration form which has appeared in NXT Event module, and it looks great. I've been waiting for a while for this to appear in NXT so thank you.


The only issue I've come across so far which will unfortunately stop me from using it, is there are no options to create custom fields and attributes on the form. You can do this in DB view, Online Express. We use this feature all the time to capture important participant data (insights) which allows us to plan appropriate communication and set-up their stewardship journey.


If you could add this to your road map to ensure this feature is added in the near future I'd truly be grateful. I'm sure other organisations would benefit from this feature too.


Thank you.

    Sometimes we need to collect information that is directly related to the overall transaction or the payor and should not be tied to the participant record. To support this, it would be helpful to have a Gift Custom Field that links specifically to the payment record. Additionally, having a Constituent Custom Field that connects to the host's constituent record would be beneficial for capturing relevant data without intermixing it with participant details.

    It's very difficult to work with the event participant fields when they are not available in query. I'm working with a University that uses participant custom fields to confirm graduation year and I want to be able to query on the user submitted year from the event and compare it to the year on the ed relationship. Currently, it's a cumbersome task to accomplish with query, VLOOKUP, etc.

    Please make deleting gifts available in RENXT.

    This would be super helpful - please implement this (I don't understand why Participant options have been created in NXT rather than using Participant Attributes/ Custom Fields which would link with Database View).

    Great idea.
