additionalSignUpFields

[herman]

Previously we have experimented with additionalSignUpFields on our hosted Lock-page, however we refrained from using them as we did not get them to work.

In this thread Auth0 suggests to not rely on it:

Hidden sign up fields to add user metadata

Hi everyone, I would like to add a role to some of my users using a hidden additional signup field. The signup field should be hidden as I don’t want users to be able to view or change it. I followed the documentation. Lock Configuration Options It seems however as if the user metadata in my Auth0 database is not updated with the role. After signing up with additional hidden signup fields the user-metadata is still an empty json. what’s happening on the Auth0 Dashboard in Userdetails: user…

Is the additionalSignUpFields not usable anymore?

Hi @herman,

They should be usable by following this doc.

https://auth0.com/docs/libraries/lock/v11/configuration#database-options

I don’t see any information suggesting they are unusable. Would you please link the direct quote or post where that is suggested so I can investigate further?

Thanks,
Dan

I will dig up an example of what we’re doing…
