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


How would you rate the customer service you received?

Thanks!
I just noticed that now the behaviour has really changed:
1. Required fields entry cannot be delayed until the first message post:
now the user MUST enter them immediately when filling in his profile form.
2. A second even bigger change: a NOT required date field can not be erased and left empty if you entered another value before...
Are those 2 new behavior really wanted?
Hi Ryann,
1. We think it's OK, because this fields have the same validation for the all places.
2. Thanks, we've fixed it. Now user is able to clear date if it not required.

Great.
Maybe the 3 strings "DD", "MM", "YYYY" used to display the date templates (like DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD ...) could then be available in the translation tool to be printed in the user's language:

"DD" = ...
"MM" = ...
"YYYY" = ...

Completed.
Thanks.
We can now "translate" YYYY (into AAAA in French).
But DD and MM are still missing.
(In French only DD is necessary to translate into JJ. But generalizing the translation possibility to the 3 strings (DD, MM, YYYY) would address any language.)

Hello Ryann. You are able to translate each of ('DD','MM','YYYY'). Try to search it in the translation interface.
We have translated it for you.

Fields can be Public/Private and Required/Not required": absolutely perfect!
Those two statuses are clearly visible in the admin interface.

Nevertheless, for the user, only the "Public/Private" is clear (with icons).
"Required/Not required" may be visible with a little '*' character, but the usage of that '*' is not currently clear in UserEcho profile since:
- there is a '*' only for field "Your name*" (and not for E-mail and not for BIO...). So does it mean required? Not required? Something else?
- there is no written explanation of what means the '*'

It would be welcome:
- to add a * after required fields
- to add a footer text explaining:  " * required fields "
