You also have the enhanced capability of adding custom fields, which allows you to gather more structured and detailed feedback through your forms. --- #### **Creating an Idea Form** Start by navigating to your Feedback & Research space within the Feedback & Research tab (clipboard icon). This is where you can create a new intake form. For more information on building this form, visit the **[article here](https://support.productplan.com/collecting-feedback-with-the-ideas-form?hsLang=en)**. As you build your form, you can add prompts to gather specific feedback from your stakeholders.  When adding custom fields to your form, you'll have three types to choose from: text fields for open-ended responses, dropdown menus for single selection options, and multi-select fields when you want to allow multiple choices.  ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 2.37.21 PM](https://support.productplan.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%202.37.21%20PM.png?width=670&height=299&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%202.37.21%20PM.png) --- #### **Managing Custom Fields** Custom fields can be managed at two different levels within your organization. Account Admins can create account-level fields through the **Account** -\> **Standardize** section, making these fields available across all teams. For more specific needs, Team Admins can create team-level fields through **Account** -\> **Users** -\> \[**Team Name**\], which will be targeted to members of that particular team. ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 2.45.26 PM](https://support.productplan.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%202.45.26%20PM.png?width=670&height=299&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%202.45.26%20PM.png) --- #### **Collecting Feedback** Once your form is set up, you can share it with stakeholders using a simple link. One of the great advantages of this system is that stakeholders don't need a ProductPlan account to submit their feedback. All responses automatically appear in your Ideas space. This makes it easy to track and manage incoming feedback. When reviewing submitted ideas, you'll find all custom field responses conveniently displayed in the idea drawer.  ![Screenshot 2026-08-03 at 2.33.54 PM](https://support.productplan.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%202.33.54%20PM.png?width=670&height=299&name=Screenshot%202026-08-03%20at%202.33.54%20PM.png) --- #### **Form Management** You have complete control over your forms. You can create as many forms as you need and enable or disable them at any time.  --- Need assistance setting up your forms or managing custom fields?
