CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am currently working on a Civi3/Drupal 6 implementation.  The client has asked for custom fields to be available for specific events (not event types).

I have added a set of custom fields, indicating that they be related a specific event (which I will call specific event 1) by setting the "used for" selection to "participant -> specific event 1".  From here I have gone to CiviCRM profiles and added a profile to include this custom data field, and called it "specific event profile" so that the field is available for the prospective participant to complete via the drupal application process.

Finally I have added this specific event profile as one of the "included profile" options on the event "online Registration" form.

The custom data field shows up for this event, but is also appearing for all other events of that event type, despite setting the "used for" option to "participant -> Specific event 1".  I had thought that assigning the "used for" option would restrict the visibility of this field to just that particular event.

Is this a bug with Civi, or is this functionality just not available in Civi.

We are, in the meantime, using specific CiviCRM profiles to handle custom data fields for specific events, but the client has indicated that they are not happy with this option, and are looking to avoid a glut of one off profiles.

Any advise, recommendation, or links to resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Donald,

I will try to replicate on the demo machine over the weekend.

I think if we look at this first, and then look at developing a module using hooks after as I would hate to be overriding existing core functionality that may be fixed in the future.

Will probably IRC you over the weekend regarding the above.
