Multiple "extra" fields

[nicolaheile]

Is it possible to extend the "extra field feature" to add multiple extra fields with JSON Code. This feature would be fantastic ;-)

[orcas-mgleich]

This would be nice, yeah

Not sure if that solves your need, but in "Settings" -> Customize Public Page -> Advanced Setting -> Form designer (Beta) you can enter additional things. E.g. mine contains a (German): { "tag": "textarea", "label": "Ihr Anliegen", "placeholder": "Bitte geben Sie Ihr Anliegen in Stichworten ein" } to have people write down a reason for their appointment. I think (but am not sure) you can have multiple fields. See https://github.com/SergeyMosin/Appointments/issues/24#issuecomment-721103321 for details on the form designer.

UPDATE: Sorry, no it explicitely says "Multiple "extra" fields are not supported yet."

Yes, one field is already very good, but I need some more. I would like to have my interviewees answer a few questions to prepare the meeting.

@nicolaheile @orcas-mgleich @SergeyMosin #259 Here is a temporarily workaround to support multiple custom fields without a GUI - only Json. Tested with all field types mentioned here #24 Example for usage:

[
    {
      "tag": "select",
      "label": "Make your choice",
      "options":[
         "Cars",
         "Tanks",
         "Mermaids"
      ]
    } ,
  {
    "tag": "input",
    "type": "number",
    "label": "Enter number",
    "placeholder": "123456"
  } ,
  {
    "tag": "textarea",
    "label": "Enter text",
    "placeholder": "placeholder text"
  }
]

I am not able to specify multiple custom fields as @LadySolveig specifies. Installed version: Appointments 1.11.7

[SergeyMosin]

@CaptKrisp This functionality is not included in any releases yet. You need a custom fork from this PR #259

[nicolaheile]

@CaptKrisp I created a Patch from the commit and patch the two files with the modification from @LadySolveig - you can simply seach for the modified lines and patch it by your own after each update from the Appointments app. The Line numbers does not match after the last update.

Thanks @SergeyMosin and @nicolaheile. I guess I didn't understand the #259 was a branch, as I'm not very adept at GitHub processes. However, I had even considered diving into the code to add the functionality of multiple custom fields but have little extra time these days.

Thanks very much for the patch @nicolaheile, I'll put it to use! :)
