How can we add custom fields to the ask a question page?

To add custom fields to the “Ask a Question” page, you generally need to extend the form by inserting your desired input fields (such as text boxes, dropdowns, or checkboxes), then handle their submission so the values are saved to your database or stored as metadata, depending on your platform. For example, in WordPress with a Q&A plugin, you can use hooks to inject new fields into the question form, save the input using functions like update_post_meta(), and then display the data with get_post_meta() on the front end. In a custom-built application, this involves updating the form template, adjusting the backend to process and save the data, and modifying the display logic so the new fields appear alongside the question. This approach ensures your “Ask a Question” page collects and shows additional details tailored to your needs.

@slopegames To add custom fields like an address look-up to the question page, you’ll need to modify the form template and possibly use a plugin or script for the lookup (e.g. Google Places API). What platform or framework are you using? That will help narrow down the steps.
