 * Hello, when using custom fields, the admin signature table truncates the data
   and it’s only accessible in the database. Is there any fix for this?
 * I also have a couple more follow up questions:
    – A while back I had inquired
   about allowing a custom field to be used as a text area. I am offering supporters
   to share their reason in supporting the petition and currently only a single 
   text line is available. When supporters leave longer responses it’s hard for 
   them to view/edit what they’ve input. Is this in the works or would you be open
   to offering custom work for that feature?
 * – Last year I saw couple requests for email confirmations of signatures to the
   petition owner. Is this still being considered? It would be a great way to stay
   on top of the activity without the need to always log into the dashboard.
 * Thank you!

 * `"when using custom fields, the admin signature table truncates the data and 
   it’s only accessible in the database."` Yes, the issue is that there is limited
   space in the admin table. I will have a look at having all the data in a tool
   tip or maybe the table cell can expand if clicked.
 * `"A while back I had inquired about allowing a custom field to be used as a text
   area."` I haven’t done anything about that and likely will in the future. Being
   a free plugin requests that take a lot of time are way down the list. But they
   are on the list ;o)
 * `" Last year I saw couple requests for email confirmations of signatures to the
   petition owner.`” I don’t recall that at all, but it is a good idea and will 
   be relatively easy to implement. Thanks for the prod.
