Hi all,

Is it possible to add cusomField1 to 10 into record type user ?

My first approach was adding a custom record field but user function cannot be used inside.

Any idea ?

Regards 

Jean-Alain

I just did a small test. What is possible, not sure whether it is a good idea, create a separate expression backed synced record using the list of all users as the data source. This can include all the user fields, including custom fields. Then you can add a relationship between the normal user record and the new one.

    No, it is not possible to add user customFields1..10 in User record type, AFAIK they can only be retrieved using user() function and can be updated in user settings.

    Why you want to use user function in a custom record field when you can directly access any user property using rv!record[fieldName] ?

    Unfortunately these fields are not present into the record provided and are not accessible using rv!record[fieldName]. It is exactly why I try to add them using calculated fields
