What is the nature of this new step?

Are you familiar with programming in PHP?

If you can clarify further what you are wanting to add, we may be able to point you toward existing functionality, or may consider this as an enhancement for future version if it is generally beneficial.

Otherwise, if you have PHP experience and want to take this on a strictly a local customization, start with this thread for background on modifying the submission process:

Is it possible to add new form fields to a page?

Hi, I want to add a new field to the submission form. Is it possible through the user interface?

Also consider the general mapping of OJS requests to the code for form processing. I described a similar process here:

Modify registration page ojs

Hello, I need to know the route to modify this section (registration). This is the url: http://revistabarataria.es/web/index.php/rb/user/register Thank you!

I presume you’ve already found most of the code here:

Is this question of assigning a section editor and reviewers related to your original question?

If this is a new question, please post it in a new forum topic. This will help others with similar questions find the answers.

If the “extra” step in the submission process which you are describing is assigning a Section Editor and Reviewers, it doesn’t sound to me like this is part of the submission. The 5-step submission process comes from the Author; the editorial handling of the submission after the author’s action is a different part of the workflow.
