CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

We've searched the forums and elsewhere online, and it appears that CIVI Event simply does not support multiple Roles per event participant. We are developing an event management system where one participant could easily be a Vendor *and* a Presenter, or a Judge *and* a Sponsor, or even 3 of these roles all during the same event.  We see that we can use Groups to manage the mailing lists and such, but for custom code groups and fields, it seems to make a lot more sense for us to link the participant role at an event to the customized fields, rather than to the Groups.

Has anyone customized CIVI Event to support multiple role assignments for an Event, or have a suggestion on how to best accomplish it in CIVICRM? We are using Joomla with ACL outside of CIVICRM.

Thanks in advance,

Has anything changed on this option?  I have events in which people are participants, but also have multiple volunteer possibilities that I want to track.  I can change a participants role, but then all data not associated with that role is hidden.  I can simply create multiple participation records for a given event based on different roles, but that seems bulky.  Just checking b/c I thought I saw something about multiple participant roles in civi 3.1, but now can't find it.

alas, not on my budget.  But the CC thing is being tested now....
