      The Customizer extension allows creation of custom layouts for individual sheets. The [pta_sign_up_sheet] shortcode displays all sheets in a standard list table format. Custom fields configured with “Use on Sheets” appear as columns in the list table.

      Would it be possible to extend the Customizer extension to support template creation for sheet list tables, with two implementation options:

      1. Global Template Option
      – Add a new section in the Customizer for “List Table Templates”
      – Allow users to create a default template that applies to all [pta_sign_up_sheet] outputs
      – Include options to:
      – Select visible columns (standard and custom fields)
      – Define column order
      – Set column widths and styling

      2. Template-Specific Shortcode Parameter [pta_sign_up_sheet template="template_name"]
      – Allow creation of multiple named templates in Customizer
      – Enable different layouts for different pages/contexts
      – Templates could control:
      – Visible columns
      – Column arrangement
      – Display formatting

      Use Cases
      – Different display needs for different sections of the website:
      Public volunteer page: basic information only
      Member section: more detailed information
      Department-specific pages: relevant fields for that department

      – Multiple sheet lists on different pages:
      Homepage: condensed view of upcoming opportunities
      Full listing page: comprehensive view
      Department pages: department-specific fields

      Thank you very much for considering this feature request.
      Kind regards,

      Although it doesn’t cover all your feature requests, I did release version 2.0 of the Custom Fields extension that adds a “Hide From Public” checkbox for each custom field. This would address your needs of having some fields that are for admin use only and would be visible to the admin only and also can be used in the reports/exports, but never visible to the public.

      Excellent, thank you very much ! I’ll have a look really soon to test it.
