Hi Allie,
Are you inquiring about Questions vs. Custom Event Fields for your Meeting Request Form, or the Event itself? If Meeting Request Form, attached are some items to consider. These were shared with me during implementation some time ago so some points might be outdated. You might want to reach out to your dedicated Solutions Specialist for further assistance if needed.
To answer your follow-up question, the questions in your library can only be used in Classic events. This feature is not yet ready in Flex. Click

Thanks,
Becky

Subject: Questions vs. Custom Fields
I have been using Custom Fields to collect the items that I need beyond the typical Cvent generic questions, because that is what the individual before me used. This has been to collect information like Emergency contacts, dietary restrictions and other items. When should you use Questions vs. Custom Fields?
Follow-up questions, how do you add questions you have put into your question library to an event? I can see where to add the questions but not one that I've already created.
