ThreadText: # How to view CiviCRM Event Participants Custom Participant Fields?

  We have an event and need to track any special dietary needs for attendees. I have created a custom field 'Dietary Needs' for event participants. This works as expected.
  
  HOWEVER, the only way that I can view the dietary needs is by viewing the event registration for a single individual. I need a way to view the attendees in a list along with any participant custom fields.
  
  What is the best way to do this? Search views do not seem to work with participant fields (Participant can not be used as a Result Column for profile searches).
