Custom Completion Types and Fields

My company may begin work on developing a customization for completions, which would allow you to create custom completion "types" and fields. For types, currently a completion seems to be able to be able to have a status of "Completed" or "Completed via RPL." The need is to be able to define, by the administrator, several different types of completion types.

Also, there is a need to have custom fields in completions, such as there are in user profiles as well as in custom course fields. A client would like to be able to store additional medidata about completion records and this type of customization seemed like one way to achieve it.

Of course, we would also need to integrate these types of features into the new functionality coming to Totara which allows for import of historical completion records.

I just wanted to start here in the community to see if anyone else has this same type of need, and to get ideas before going further.
