Hi all,

I was wondering if there is a way to modify the post creation form in order to be able to add some custom fields to it?

Thanks,

That is definitely possible, albeit not a very common thing.

One example of a plugin that does this is [discourse-events/assets/javascripts/discourse/connectors/composer-fields at main · angusmcleod/discourse-events · GitHub](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-events/tree/main/assets/javascripts/discourse/connectors/composer-fields).

Also have a look at this guide. I think it’ll help you.
