REQUEST: Add 5 additional fields to the Edit Tasks screen: Description (read only), Other (read only), another Item Details input field (writable) and a Comments box (writable…memo with character limit defined in MySQL).
REASON:
– Description: Need the ability to display in normal text size under the Task Position a brief description of the task and what is required.
– Other: May need to display additional information in normal text under Description like Skills needed or Items to Bring (ex: work gloves)
– Item Details: Would like to be able to gather additional information from a Volunteer like “What is your Shirt Size?”
– Comments: Gives the Volunteer the opportunity to provide the Organizer additional information like “I can help but I need a chair”.NEW HEADER:
( – ) Position | Description | Other | Date | # Needed | Start Time | End Time | Duplicates | Quantities | Item Details #1 | Label #1 | Item Details #2 | Label #2 | Comments ( + ) -
I think that’s a bit over kill… adding too many fields to the database, and too many fields/columns to fit nicely into one row in the regular WordPress content area. Starts to get cluttered really fast!
Each sheet has a full editor for the main sheet description, and in there you can easily put all that information in one place, instead of trying to store that with each task. For most of the sign-ups we do for our own PTA, no additional info is ever needed. For those rare occasions when some task/item needs a bit of extra explanation, that is very easy to add to the main sheet description.
Contact info is provided for each sheet, so it’s very easy for somebody to contact the chairs privately if they have concerns or additional information they want to provide.
There is already a field that lets you choose the text prompt for the item details input for each task, where you could enter things like “what is your shirt size”.

Awesome, glad that will work for you, as I’m swamped with some custom programming jobs and have no idea when/if I will be able to add additional features to these free plugins.
If you haven’t done so already, please feel free to rate/review the plugin on WordPress.org:
