Usually a forum post contains of a 'subject' field and a 'contents' field.

In our educational scenario (we want to use the software for collaborative learning) we would like to ask several questions to students, e.g.

"Do you agree with the previous author? Why?"
"What do you think of ....?"
etc.

Is this possible with the module as-is? Or should we create a plugin for the module (which is possible, as there is a budget). If the latter: is there an API?

The original forum post in a thread is a node and can have fields added like any other node. I've been out of Drupal for a while but I'm thinking that Drupal 7 got fieldable comments as well, didn't it? If so, you can do the same thing there. This is unrelated to AF as it is in the node/comment system so whether you use AF or just core forum, the capability is the same.

yes, comments are fieldable as nodes in D7.

Thanks, troky. It's crazy how much you forget when you don't have your head in something for a while. :(
