Expand supported variables in custom Certificates of Completion

[shoaf45noreply]

Currently, there are a limited number of supported variables in custom certificates that allow admins to automatically import data from Catalog. It would be lovely if this list was expanded to include other pieces of information stored in the course/program card, specifically the number of credits, which is a mandatory component for many continuing education licensure programs.

I support this Idea!

Please also add student_email as variable
Sometimes name is not enough to identify a person on a certificate. We would like to be able to add student e-mail address.

I also support this idea! 

It would be great to be able to pull in user defined fields from registration into a certificate. For many of our use cases we need to include a user's professional license number, which we capture during user registration. Being able to include that and possibly other registration fields would be a great feature to add.

I agree with @taevans! User defined fields would be lovely in certificates!

has anyone figure out a work-around to expose extra variables for the certificate, either via API call, etc?

I got to assume there is a way to get this data out as it already exists in the system.

I support this idea as well!  Being able to pull in more data fields would be very beneficial.
