Description
Problem you are facing
Some fields of CfP are hard-coded and can only be enabled or disabled. They are useful but their description can be confusing to submitters or lack necessary information. There are two ugly workarounds at the moment:
- Disable the hard coded field and replace it by a custom field. This has the disadvantage of not being integrated in various exports and the programme.
- If running Pretalx yourself, edit the template and maintain your own fork.
Possible Solution
Make help text editable.
Context
For example, in Pretalx, an "abstract" is a short description one or two sentences long. A "description" is a longer text about the submission. In the academic context, an abstract is multiple hundreds of words long.
At FOSSGIS, the short text is printed in a booklet and both texts are shown in the online programme and the app. As an organiser, I would like to be able to edit the help text to explain that.
This feature request is a result of our experiences at FOSSGIS 2019.
