    Good afternoon,

    I searched the support entries but didn’t see anything that looked applicable. My question is, is it possible that once a user signs up for one volunteer opportunity, their signup can be “duplicated” to additional opportunities at different times on the same day or to different days with differing times?

    I run a Special Needs baseball league and utilize your plugin to register “buddies” that volunteer to come out and assist our athletes. We have 3 games per Saturday and rather than having buddies have to register for every game on every Saturday, I would like to be able to duplicate their signup to additional times and days if possible even if it is an admin only function that I need to undertake. If it could be implemented overall, I think that may add some welcome functionality for those signing up for multiple volunteer opportunities.

    Other than that, this plugin has been a Godsend for us!

    Thank you,
    Rick Davies

    Sorry, but there is no automated way of doing that now. However, as an admin user, you can sign up people from the admin side. If you use the “View Signups” text link from the list table of sheets on the admin side, you can see everyone who signed up, and there will be an “Actions” column with icons for actins you can take as admin. On any blank slots there will be a “+” icon to allow you to add a signup yourself. If you force your users to have WordPress user accounts, it’s super easy because then on the admin signup page you’ll see a dropdown select list of users and you can select a user to then automatically fill all the standard info for that user. Otherwise, you would have to enter each field manually (copy and paste from another signup that you can have open in another tab to make it faster).

    OK, thanks, I can go that route for now.

    Would it be beneficial to add that in as a suggestion/feature request or is there something on the back end that would make that a difficult or near impossible ask?

    Thanks for the quick response!

    You could certainly add it as a feature request, if you want, although I haven’t been adding too many new features recently. If it’s something that many people think would be helpful, I could consider it.

    If you do add it as a feature request, please add more details as to how you think it should work. For example, are you manually picking other tasks to sign them up for after they sign up for the first one? Or are you trying to link several tasks so that when they sign up for one, they automatically get signed up for the others? If it’s the later, I would suggest just combining those into one task so they only have to sign up once, and add a task description that lets them know everything that task involves, or add more details about it in the sheet description? If it’s just that you want to select other sheets/tasks to copy the signup info to, and you want to save some typing by not having to enter the info manually, and you’re not forcing them to have user accounts, then let me know how you think that should work from the user interface standpoint. For example, what happens if there are details needed for each task and those need to be different for each task? Or, what happens if you are using the custom fields extension and there are different custom fields for each task that need to be entered? In order for me to consider adding new features, it has to be useful for people using other features as well.
