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!

@CapedCrusader, 이렇게 늦게 답변드려서 죄송합니다. 여기저기 살펴보고 커스텀 플러그인도 알아봤지만, 결국 그쪽으로 진행하지 않는 것이 더 나을 것 같아 결정했습니다. 그래도 아쉬운 마음이 듭니다. 우리에게 매우 유용했을 텐데 말이죠.

지금 Custom Wizard Plugin 🧙 을 사용하면 이 작업을 수행할 수 있다고 생각합니다.
