> auto-segmenting users into groups based on a custom User Field dropdown

@li-zi i know you kind of solved this for your case already, but it seems to me that one other potential solution is to use the [Custom Wizard plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-wizard-plugin/73345).  
I use this to prompt new users to fill out the wizard after signing up.  
The wizard has some fields that offer dropdown options.  
Then i set up two separate actions to complete after the wizard is submitted:

- one to update the user profile custom fields with the wizard field from the drop down
- another action to add user to specific group based on the wizard field selection
