Hi all, 

I have created a new custom field and I make it as REQUIRED. 

After that everytime I login i am redirected to edit profile page, but I can not see my new custom field. So I can not edit It and moodle keep me always redirected to edit profile page (also with admin user).

How can I disable o change that custom field ? I think that the only way is edditing database or something like that.


Thank you very much,

Oscar

Oscar,

If you have access to the database, you can fix this as follows:

1) in the database, go to the table mdl_user_info_field
2) locate the field with the name and shortname that you want to change
3) edit the row and set value the column name "required" from 1 to 0

This will disable the required setting on that custom field and allow you to log in and correct the situation.

Of course, always make a backup copy of your database before editing, just in case.
