Automatic user titles based on user custom field?

Novice Discourse admin here. We would like to automatically create user titles based on the user’s response at registration to a required dropdown custom user field.

For instance, if we have several types of users, the answers to whose questions depend upon their industry background, we may have a required dropdown custom user field with the following choices:

  • transportation
  • software
  • medical
  • packaging

We would like to automatically assign a user title of “transportation” for a user who selects transportation as his/her industry. Knowing this background, it is much easier to reply to the user’s questions.

Have you figured out a way to do that without admin intervention for each registration? These registrations are random to us. FYI, there are no email domains that can be tied to a specific dropdown selection.

You would need a custom plugin for this, no built in way to do it.

Hi @InspektorCluzo. We’re looking to do something very similar. Did you find a plugin or other solution to this use case?

Thanks!

Désolé d’avoir répondu si tard, @CapedCrusader. Nous avons fait le tour de la question, puis envisagé un plugin personnalisé, mais avons décidé qu’il valait mieux ne pas nous engager dans cette voie. C’est dommage, car cela nous aurait quand même été très utile.

Je pense que vous pouvez le faire maintenant en utilisant Custom Wizard Plugin 🧙.
