Install this theme component
User Field Prompt allows you to show a user field form in any Discourse post. Changes made in the form will be saved in the current user profile. Itâs useful to ask users to make changes to a user field without having to force them to search the field in their profile.
Usage for a user field named age and another one named best fruits:
[wrap=user-field names="age,best fruits"][/wrap]

Hallo, het werkt niet voor mij, het geeft een leeg veld weer en een foutmelding bij het opslaan van het bericht.

Hallo, ik heb opnieuw getest en het werkt nog steeds niet: er wordt geen fout weergegeven, maar het bericht is leeg.

Any chance you can share a link to an example broken post on your forum? (in PM is fine if you prefer not to share here)
The preview of the theme on theme-creator is working for me (as long as youâre logged in)

Are you sure the user-field-prompt theme component is installed and enabled? I donât see its code in the dev tools

My bad the TC was deactivated, itâs now active, I created a new topic: User field prompt test 2 - CatĂ©gorie test - Dessein-Tech the frame around the field appears but is not editable. On top of that, the delete button and edit button for that topic do not work (there a delay of 30 seconds before the topic is actually deleted or can be edited). The wrench icon does not react too. This happens in Preview mode too.

I think the problem is that your site is running a legacy version of the post-stream, because discourse-nationalflags has not yet been updated for the new post stream. As an admin, you should be seeing a red banner about that issue.
The recent fixes for user-field-prompt were built only with the new post-stream in mind, so thatâs why itâs causing errors on your site.
So if you need this user-field feature right now, Iâd recommend disabling the nationalflags plugin. Otherwise, youâll need to wait for the developer of that plugin to make the necessary updates.

Maybe the screenshot in the first post could be updated so itâs less unexpected that the title and description are shown below the field.
It no longer looks like it does in the preferences.

Would be nice to have them consistent, and this is a minor change.
How tricky is a modification to bring them into alignment?

We are going to have a better solution than this theme component in the coming weeks, so Im not going to spend time on this sorry.
Is this something like user fields in TCs
. Iâll wait for the nationalflags update.
