Custom fields suddenly removed?

Hi

I just had a gamejam this weekend and I made some customs fields for the submissions, like names of people who made the game and some questions etc.

But... they are gone. Suddenly *poof* gone. I have no idea how this happened. I heard someone who submitted a game that they were able to see other peoples answers to the custom fields and then suddenly they were gone.

I didn't remove anything from the jam page :S

Please link to the page in question if you're having an issue. In this case, a link to the game jam would be incredibly helpful for us to debug it. Thanks

I checked the most recent jam you created and don't see any fields in the database. Are you sure you didn't edit the jam in a way where you removed them?

Hi yeah its the most recent one. 

I'm sure I didn't remove anything from the fields area. I did edit the jam info during the event, but never touched those fields. And then all of a sudden they were gone. 


I thought it could be a old tab in the browser without the fields where I accidently pressed apply to the jam. But the fields were added a long time ago, so that can't be true. People saw the fields until the submission deadline and then they were gone :(

Can you share what the fields were? I can see if we can try to recover responses from the database.

I wish I had a screenshot of it. It's all in danish though, but I'll try as per memory: 

"hvem der lavede spillet"   (who made the game)

"Kontaktperson som vil ringes op" (Contactperson is the keyword here, the rest im not sure if accurate)

"Hvilke temaer brugte i?" (what themes were used)

"Skal vi lave et jam igen årligt? " (Should we make a game yearly? the keyword is probably "årligt" here)

Hi again, as I test I wanted to make a new jam and it actually suggested one of the fields I had last time.

Specifically it was "Kontaktinfo (Email eller mobil) på den person der skal kontaktes når jeres spil er bedømt"


Maybe that can help?   🙏
