Match Add Custom Attribute and Error Messages Text From Event Form Text

6 votes

It would be nice to match the custom text in the Event Form on the Add Custom Attribute button and messages. Custom Attributes does mean much to the casual user and I think many places may have renamed Custom Attributes on the Event Form to "Additional Event Information" or some other useful language. The error message "Please enter a value for required custom attributes" could also match the text from the Event Form that would be nice too.

And/Or create a setting where we can adjust these message in the Event Form settings would work too.

I would also like to add ability to customize event form error messages a bit more than what they are right now.

For example, if someone tries to book an event outside of the allowable dates (for our school, about a year out from the current date); they get a message that states "The chosen value dates fall outside allowable bounds". This is SUPER cryptic, grammatically incorrect, and I get emails questioning what that error message means every few days.

If I could change the message to say something I wanted, like "The chosen date is not currently available for reservation. Please check xyz.com for more information about future reservations" then it'd be so much easier for our users (and cause less work for us schedulers!).

This is a great suggestion because users have no idea what a "custom attribute" is. I also added a feature upvote to make the event save error more visible to users, instead of the tiny print that is listed under the entire section. Feel free to upvote!
