How do I add hidden/extra fields to the upload area? (4 posts)

    I'm on 2.8.4.

    I want to add a couple fields in the place where my authors upload stories. One would be a text area where they leave comments for the editors about the story. Another would be a check box for "allow editors to revise?"

    Is this possible? How would I do that?

    Not too sure of a plugin that does that:

    Also take a look at Scissors as it makes changes to the Media edit screen so you can get an idea of what's involved: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/scissors/

    Not for images, for comments.

    Like an author might say to the editor "I saw a story about this on BBC, and it's ready to go, but don't put a picture like the maglev train on it, do something more like pedestrians getting on a train".

    Something like that.

    Anybody else? I know this can be done, it's just not a normal thing to request. Any ideas? I have authors that regularly need to leave notes for the editors, can this be done?
