Fields on Registration
A better way to do fields on registration forms so that common fields is not the same for every event.

Hm, all contact and member fields are part of event registration form and they are prepopulated when a contact is logged in.
But the values added to event registration fields are not copied to contact profile, mor eon this at https://forums.wildapricot.com/forums/308932-wishlist/suggestions/8825800-event-registration-form-to-update-contact-profile

Maybe a better way to say it is that I'd like to have fields from the Member or Contact dbase that we can put on the form and they will populate their profile. Right now, we have 5 common fields - that are the same for every event. If I want to add a field for a specific event, I have to re-create it every time. It shouldn't be that way. Take a look at Sale Sponsorship - 2015. We had to create custom fields and those fields don't tie into their contact information. It's only saved on the reg form. So then, every time we have them sponsor something we're asking the same question about their product/service.
Also, if I asked "How did you hear about MOMS sale?" as a custom field, I have to redo it every time I want to put it in a form. It's currently a member field, but I'd love that info for our contacts as well, and then I'd love to be able to pull a report that shows "Of our contacts, how do people hear about the MOMS sale?" Does that help?

Molly, can you please provide an example or scenario how you would use this?
