Is it possible to modify what fields are required for additional attendees?

If we select Personal Information Only, it only asks for name and email.
If we select Full, it asks for same as primary attendee.

We want More then name/email, not less then full! Can we change this?

Hi,

Yes this is very much possible.

First off make sure that you have created the appropriate Questions and imprtantly Question groups. Think of these as modular question blocks.

Then in the event editor select full information for the additional attendees, and then scroll down until you see this http://d.pr/i/KYW0

Here you will see tick boxes for each of the question groups you have made, selecting them for the Primary and additional attendees will show those question groups. They do not have to be the same for Primary and Attendee, but Personal Information is default for both and cannot be removed.

Ok, currently all the needed questions for primary are in the “Personal Information”. So what your saying is we need to remove them from the primary and put them in a separate group so that it can be “unselected” from the additional attendee.

So primary would be personal + group 1.
Then attendee would be personal + group 2.

Essentially?

Great, got this working in our sandbox. But there is now an issue for putting this live. Since all fields were in personal information group, they would now be removed. This would mean all previously created events would no longer have the proper fields displayed.

We have hundreds of events created, and cannot manually edit them all. Is there a way to apply a change to all events, or make something default or do it through the database?

Hi Al,

Well the removal of the questions will be automatic across the events, but yeah the new question group/s wont be. So it is either manually, or you could create an SQL query to try and do it via the database. Please make sure you back up your database before attempting such an action though.
