Custom Create User Form, Inputted data not shown on error

Hello,

We have a sign up form, with custom fields, which all works great, however when submitting if there is an error (e.g. User Email already exists) the form refreshes, but the data that has already been entered has been removed. is there a setting somewhere to keep that data? everything is set to the correct form value (as when you do a successful submit, it sets the value on the AccessUser)

Is there also a way of marking a custom field as required?

Hi Joseph

You cannot mark a custom field as required - you have to do that in the template.

When you creat a new user, you do a post - that post will render a loop of errors in the create user template. To keep the values in custom fields, you need to read them from the post using request.form["fieldName"] and set the value on the input field.
