Edit Contact Roles to show pertinent information relating to an opportunity

The contact role allows us to record the role that a contact plays for a particular opportunity.

However we also need to capture more information to support the sales cycle; eg:

-Degree of influence
-Preference (positive/negative/neutral)
-Degree of Engagement (meeting, call etc)
-Problem(s) they are experiencing
-Implication - what it means to them
-Need - why they need to buy our product/solution

Can the contact role piece be customised/expanded rather than having to create a whole new, clunky object?

eyewellse 01/16/07	More generally, the contact roles related list should be customizable with custom fields...
dgreenman 04/18/07	Even just being able to list additional fields from the Conatct table (e.g. job title) when viewing Contact Roles in the miniview would be a start.
home_grown Jul 25	I agree, being able to customise Contact Roles for Accounts would be a real benefit to us as the picklist has become very long and unwieldy, being able to break it into two dependant picklists and add other fields would be very usefull. I would also like to be able to select which contact fields to display in the related list.
flescor Aug 13	Contact Roles and also Partners are related lists that really should be customizable. We end up in all sorts of contortions with custom objects because they are not.
