Hi All, I have added a custom field to the profile and made it mandatory. So user has to enter it during registration. I need to check if its unique in the DB just like email field is done, “Primary email has already been taken”. What could be the possible ways to do it. I don’t want to use SSO at this point. Thanks, Prashanth

Thank You @pfaffman. Looks like its time to explore writing custom plugins. Does it need too much Ruby knowledge? I am good with Java/J2EE/.net. Relatively ok with front end stack. Thanks, Prashanth

[image] PBS: Does it need too much Ruby knowledge? You can probably make pretty much sense of Ruby, though it does have a few peculiar shortcuts. Rails is what requires a bit of learning, though you should be able to find some examples that you might be able to follow without having to acquire a deep understanding of stuff. Though I’m making no promises, I’ll be on the lookout for something that might help.

I can’t imagine a solution that does not require a plugin. It’s not hard with a plugin, though.
