Register New Participant screen shows custom fields not in event profile
October 18, 2011, 12:34:03 pm
I have created custom fields in a field set called "Sessions". I then create a profile where I choose only the fields I need for a particular event. No problem with the online registration form. But if a staff person here uses the "Register New Participant" option, ALL of the fields in the Sessions field set appear.

A problem because it's confusing, but even worse if a field is mandatory and you aren't using it for this event.

So do I have to create a new field set for each event in order to prevent this from happening? Or is it a bug?

yes this has come up a few times and has been a source of confusion :(

for now the easiest option might be to restrict the custom groups to a specific event(s)

If you are interested in working on this and want to patch this that would be great. Contact us on irc and we can help u get started

Would love to help but unfortunately I'm not a programmer/coder, wouldn't know where to start. Please let me know if I can be helpful in other ways.
