Thanks for your Volunteer Sign-up Sheet plugin. One new feature that we would like to request: for each Task/Item, can you add an optional field for something like “Alternate Spots” or “Wait List”?
For example, we would like to add 5 spots to the “# Needed” field plus 2 spots to an “Alternate/Wait List” field. On the front end, if the 5 spots are filled, we would then like to collect 2 additional sign-ups for the alternate/wait list spots. In the event of a cancelation of the original 5, we could reach out to our alternates.

This would probably be better as a custom programming project, where I could code a custom extension that fits your needs exactly.
Otherwise, what I might suggest was that you create a separate “wait list” task for each task/item that you want to have a waitlist for. Put the wait list one right after the main one, and then people can simply sign up to be on the waitlist. Not perfect, since they could sign up for the wait list before the main list is filled (but, maybe that’s a positive, if people don’t necessarily want to do it unless the main list doesn’t get filled).
But, if you wish to discuss a custom developed extension just for you, feel free to contact me privately. Note that my rate for custom programming is $100 per hour.

Thanks for the suggestion. That workaround may be good enough to meet our needs, and I will reach out if we would like to pursue the custom extension. Thanks again!

I have at least one client that I just did a custom extension for, and they are willing to pay a relatively small amount to subsidize development of a waitlist extension. If you are interested in contributing to the development, let me know. I may start on that fairly soon. Anyone who contributes gets a lifetime license.
