Hi,
Thanks for the plugin! It seems to be working on Moodle 4.0 but I am unable to pull info from the database for current user using %%USERID%%. I get
Error executing the query: Error reading from database. I have tested the query directly in moodle database and in Ad Hoc queries plugin and it works as expected there. Any help appreciated.

Hi Antonello! Your plugin is very useful and would do exactly what I need .. unfortunately it only does for "user" custom fields, it would be possible to have a version also for the custom fields that are used under the course or better yet to be used in multiple contexts (in so that they can also be used for the individual activities of a course)?

I am having the same issue as Valentino. Looking over your code, in the constructor for the field, you have a parameter for userID, which is null/empty from the sign-up page, so it never hits the code path to populate the dropdown.

Hi, I have a question /idea about use case. I am facing a requirement to report on what sorts of learners, by license, credential, or age that completed course X. I don't have these fields in my moodle and was struggling to devise a plan to do this. I was thinking about using a feedback activity to collect this at the start of the course. Then use configurable reports to query out the data. But wondering if this might be used to store my feedback activity data into some profile fields?

Any ideas welcome - interesting module !

Hi, it does not work in the signup page (no option), while it is ok in the user profile page. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi eli chan, I had the same issue with the dynamic multi select profile field. That is, it worked fine until I deleted a user that used the multi select to update his profile. After this I could not add activities to courses as I would get "error reading from database". I think that when I deleted the user, it did not clean up the database. To solve the problem I deleted the multi select field I created. I can now add activities to any course.

Very useful plugin after installation and work prefectly, but new course cannot add activity due to "Error reading from database".

Thanks for tidying up those issues Antonello, I still think it would be nice if you could expand your description here a little bit more to explain the different use-cases (to help encourage more people to try out your plugin) but I think the plugin code is ready for approval - we'll just wait for the Moodle HQ team to make the final decision on approval.
