  Hi Shehryar Khaliq Lodhi,

  Thanks for sharing your feedback around having more fields in the widget. Currently, this is not something that is being prioritised in the roadmap for this year.

  Generally, the more fields you add to the form the less likely the visitors will want to start a conversation with the business. We also offer the ability to change the ticket subject once it has been created to be described by the agent that is relevant or summaries the conversation.

  Hi Ramin,

  That day I was going through one of your Developer docs and there i saw that we can add a subject filed through this code

  https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/widget/settings/#subject 

  so can you like guide me how can i add this in my existing code for "Request a quote" should have a subject field separated like "how may I help you" should not be the subject.

  The endpoint you liked to is just for the contact form and not chat, the Web Widget does not offer custom buttons to be placed among the contact options. 

  If you just want to rename the contact us option for the ticket form, there is a separate API to set the label: https://developer.zendesk.com/api-reference/widget/settings/#contactformlabel

  Okay But how will I add a subject field separately. Because the reason is anyone who requests a quote it creates the subject which is "How may I help you"  I like want the subject field to be a separate field so in this way when a customer sends a ticket so it should be having a subject like the title of it.

  There is an optional JS API you can use to have a subject field on the contact form in the Web Widget (Classic). If you have further questions about using the APIs, I recommend you reach out to our advocacy team for further assistance.
