Customize event fields

Every guest has default fields (name, total guests, free guests, added by), but you can add unlimited custom fields to capture any additional information you need for your event.

To manage custom fields in the event settings, you need the Admin permission on the event. Learn more about Permissions.

Available field types

Text — The default type. An auto-expanding text box that accommodates any number of lines. Recommended for most cases.

Paragraph — Similar to Text, but displays multiple lines by default to indicate longer content is expected.

Multiple choice — Define options where guests can select one. All options are always visible.

Checkboxes — Define options where guests can select any number of choices.

Dropdown — Define options where guests can select one. Displays as a compact select dropdown, showing only the selected option unless opened.

Email address — A specialized field that validates that the entered value looks like a valid email address.

You can edit multiple fields at once before saving.

Reorder custom fields

1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Settings > Custom fields
2. Drag the reorder icon (on the right side of each field) to rearrange their order
3. Select Save

The order you set here determines how fields appear throughout the event. Fields from a template keep the template's order and can't be dragged.

2. Rename a field to match an existing field name
3. Select Save

2. Select the three dots icon in the upper right corner of the field
3. Select Delete
4. Select Delete again to confirm
5. Select Save

Caution

Deleting a custom field will delete the values of that field for all guests in the event.

Custom fields from a template

Custom fields that come from an event template are marked From template. Editing one in the event overrides the template's version for this event only. To go back to the template's version, select Delete override below the field (next to "Overrides event template"), and then Save. To change the field in all events using the template, see Edit event template custom fields.

Custom fields of a pass type are managed in the pass type (see Customize pass fields).

Add custom fields while editing guests

When adding or editing a guest:

1. Go to Events (main menu) > your event > Guests
2. Select a guest to edit
3. In the guest details panel, select New custom field
4. Configure and save your new field

This shortcut saves time by letting you create fields exactly when you need them.
