What is this code add_to_serializer in all these plugins

If possible, can you please share the link of the plugin that you were working on at that time?

Thanks for the great explanations. Am I right to assume that it would be possible to use add_to_serializer, something like op_likes? Iā€™m not sure why this happens, but I can only have access to the op_likes_count when I order by it (as in order=op_likes), but I wanted to have such numbers without having to order by it.

Is there also a way to use it from JavaScript? Iā€™m currently looking at `showOpLikes` doesn't work right away, but after clicking back and forth - #6 by pfaffman which was closed.

No, you canā€™t change an API from a client :slight_smile:

This should absolutely not be the default. Not all user custom fields should be displayed to the user (e.g. see Staff Notes).

I wonder if ā€œadd to serializerā€ could be a checkbox when creating a custom user field in the UI. And then the PR could be to check if the custom user field has add to serializer and then if so, add it.
