Description
When creating price options there is a 'Participant count' next to 'Maximum participants'
At first glance this would appear to suggest that it is the number of participants to remove from the maximum each time the option is selected.
This is not the case. As explained in the help text:
Enter a value here if you want to increment the number of registered participants per unit against the maximum number of participants allowed for this event. For example, if this price field is for a table at a fundraiser which seats eight people, you would set Participant Count to 8.
If you do not want this option to increment the participant count for the event you can still restrict how many times this particular option can be chosen. Leave this field empty and enter a value in the adjacent Max Participants box. For example, if you leave this empty and set the adjacent Max Participant = 20, only 20 registrants can choose this option before it becomes unavailable to online registrants.
I've found this title to be misleading, although the help text is very informative. Perhaps the field could be renamed to be more obvious 'Additional participant count' or such (I'd welcome other suggestions).
Otherwise people type '1' thinking that this would only ever create '1' participant. However, if I select two price options that have a 'Participant count' of 1 then my confirmation email says: Total participants 2.
