 * I’d like to add some additional fields to the initial forum post screen that 
   then pass through and are displayed along with the post.
    I have so far located
   in form-topic.php where the input text box is located and then in bbp-topic-template.
   php the following function which i believe is pulling in the content from this
   text box:
 *     ```
       function bbp_get_form_topic_content() {
       		global $post;
   
       		// Get _POST data
       		if ( 'post' == strtolower( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] ) && isset( $_POST['bbp_topic_content'] ) )
       			$topic_content = $_POST['bbp_topic_content'];
   
       		// Get edit data
       		elseif ( !empty( $post->post_title ) && bbp_is_topic_edit() )
       			$topic_content = $post->post_content;
   
       		// No data
       		else
       			$topic_content = '';
   
       		return apply_filters( 'bbp_get_form_topic_content', esc_textarea( $topic_content ) );
       	}
       ```
   
 * What I want is to be able to do is to pull in the value inputted into a couple
   of additional fields/checkboxes.
 * Can anyone give me a pointer on where I should insert the field name? Is it even
   possible without breaking things?
 * Thanks
