Constituent Forms - add a custom box like "notes/comments" where donors can write other information

This is a great addition to have that we can embed into websites, however, it would be helpful to not just have contact information and consent options, we have donor requests come through using a form like this and it would be helpful to include an open-ended box for stuff like that. It could be called "Notes or Comments" or have the title editable for each organization. And allow for a couple of them.

    Textbox option (notepads) is something we need before can migrate to this, 255 characters is too limited. Things like capturing news from alumni etc.

    Suggesting that this and https://renxt.ideas.aha.io/ideas/RENXT-I-9834 are linked i.e. the ability to add further boxes / free text to the constituent forms

    Thank you for your suggestion! Would that not just put the "Text" into the form as what I would write in it? My suggestion is more wanting an open-ended text box that the donors could fill out themselves. Thanks!

    Moving to voting open for constituent note collection. In the meantime, I recommend using custom fields for this. While the "Text" custom field type is limited to 255 characters, you can already add as many as you want to the form. You'll need to setup your custom field first, which can be done in RENXT-->Settings-->Fields & Tables-->Custom fields, and then you can pull the custom field widget in repeatedly into your Constituent Form.

    Thanks for your feedback and Idea!
