Can custom fields be used in suggestion box forms?

Can people or donations custom fields be used in suggestion boxes?

This site appears to do so: http://www.changethecourse.org/build_it

Thanks!

No, suggestion pages aren't one of the pages where you can use custom fields unfortunately. The reason is that there is no 'sign in' form as part of the suggestion page. You could edit the form that people go to before they suggest but it would only work for people who were not already logged in as logged in users wouldn't have to re-login.

    Thanks Taylor, makes sense. I guess custom fields could be injected into the main suggestion body at submit…
