[5.5] System table | User | custom field vanished

Hi,

I need some more fields for my users, so I successfully added them to database and alternative forms. Works nicely.

But now I tried to add another field, saved it, edited field type, saved again, went to Alternative forms, changes Default visibility of tis custom field and -- gone! The new field name is not included in field lists any more. I tried to re-create it but got an database insert error, field already exists (that's true, checked in database table). If I delete it low-level in MSSQL I can re-create the field in Systems Table dialog.

That happened twice now. Any idea what causes it?

BTW, where do you store the properties of a custom user field (caption, drop-down options etc.)?

Thanks,
Jim

RE:[5.5] System table | User | custom field vanished

OH NO, it just happened again!! New fields are gone again!

But maybe I'm onto something. The site is based on your Community Template, so there are 3 alternative forms for "Edit profile": Default (with default layout), Community (with custom layout), MyDesk (with custom layout). I successfully edited "Display profile" form and "Edit profile Community" form, but then erroneously opened layout tab of "Edit profile default" form. After that the new fields were not listed any more. Will give it another try to confirm this possible bug.

Did you add them in Site manager -> Development -> System tables? What version of Kentico CMS do you use? Best regards, Helena Grulichova

RE:[5.5] System table | User | custom field vanished

This has just happened to me aswell. I am using Kentico Version: 5.5 Build: 5.5.3789. I am creating custom user fields in:

Site manager -> Development -> System tables -> User

The fields are added fine @ first but when i create my alternate form (i am firstly specifying which fields i want to use & then generating my custom layout). Randomly the fields are created in the User Table have now disappeared ?? I have checked the SQL table CMS_User & the fields are still there ?

Any ideas on this ?

Cheers

Unfortunately, there was a bug related to alternative forms in the 5.5 version. If the hotfix will not solve the issue, please let me know. Thank you. Ivana Tomanickova
