Custom field in User profile

Hello,

Is there any possibility to add a custom field (associated to our project) in the User profile?


For instance a client number, or a licence number, that would make things easier for the staff to manage this customer request(s).

It would be welcome to have both possibilities:

- field writable by the user and the project staff

- field writable only by the project staff

The implementation looks greatly inspired, but I encounter some problems:

  1. In the dialog box to create a new feedback, any tooltips for the custom fields is displayed "under" the field, and then partially hidden, whereas it should be "over" the field like all other tooltips work perfectly.
  2. When entering a new topic in a community where I already posted: I've be asked to enter that (new) profile fields. Then these fields (if public) have correctly been displayed under my post. But I've been asked to enter them again at the next post, as if they were not stored in my profile forever. And indeed (unlike the snapshot in your knowledge base) the custom fields I entered when posting my topic are not listed when viewing my own profile page...

HI Riann,
2. You've added custom fields to the topic! It means that data will be different for each topic.
If you need some data related to the user you should add custom fields to the User! Check you custom field settings https://laboxideale.userecho.com/settings/custom_fields/topic/ and select "Object type" User.

Oh, I get it! My mistake.
Did not even imagine that custom fields could be "per-topic". That's clear now.
