It would be great to have the ability to add customizable intake fields to the MS Ideas portal. This will help capture necessary and sufficient information from the submitters in order for the administrator/back-end teams to better understand the ideas/feedback. This would help eliminate the needs to request additional clarifications and reduce the back and forth follow ups after the submission.

As each team who uses MS Ideas has different audiences and requirements, it'd be great to be able to customize/add different intake fields to meet their needs.

Currently, children ideas that are merged into a collection will be removed from the public forum. The collection would be there but the ideas will go away. Only users who have previously engaged with the children ideas (i.e. voted, commented, followed) would be able to see a link to the original children idea within the collection.

It will be great to have the links to the children ideas visible to all the users (not just to the users who have engaged with the children ideas). This will provide users the full visibility of what similar ideas have been merged into the collection and see the details of the original children idea post.
