Participant Attributes: Can I have them show once only?

Daniel Noga 2

We thought to (mis-)use the Participant Attribute field to ask registrants for an event how they heard about it. Nice idea in theory, but in practice, the field appears once for every ticket a person purchases. We definitely don't want people to have to answer that five times!


I'm guessing the answer is "No," but is there any way to make this field appear only once, no matter how many tickets they purchase?

Hey Daniel, The answer today is "no" BUT would be a great option to add to the form. Can you add it to the Ideas bank so we can have people vote on this? Perhaps bump it up to things we might work on later this year.

Thanks Michele!


For anyone reading this who is interested, I've added the idea for voting:

We do this, but the field is not compulsory so they can fill it in for the first peson and then skip for the rest.
