# “User field”

 * First of all – really, really great plugin, that takes ACF on a another level.
 * I absolutely like your “Post Field” feature although I don’t use it, but it is
   a great concept. I need a different thing, so I was wondering if you have plans
   to implement the same thing, but for users ? Call it “User field” if you want.
   The concrete problem I have is, that I’m working for a Dutch company and the 
   Dutch naming scheme is quite … errrrm … complicated. It has Initials, First, 
   Prefix 1, Last, Prefix 2, Last 2 names. As you’ve might imagine – it is somewhat
   of a nightmare to implement. So, having an option like “User filed” would allow
   simply extending the naming scheme instead of actually duplicating and synchronizing
   it. I think this would also allow great flexibility on adding secondary emails
   and other contact information etc etc … all-in-all – it would be a hit, I think.
 * Another issue I have, although it can be somewhat workarounded, although not 
   easily – some sort of integration between ACF and Woocommerce profile/registration,
   billing address and shipping address.
 * Hope to hear from you and keep up the good work.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad to hear that you enjoy ACF Extended 🙂
 * Regarding your feature request, well, ACF already allows you to add any custom
   fields in User views. Adding a custom wrapper with builtin “new fields” would
   remove the flexibility and customization which are the core philosophy of ACF.
   I’m not sure how that would work for developers TBH.
 * For the Woocommerce integration, this is planned for a future release, I’m very
   busy right now with the upcoming cool features, but this one will definitely 
   comes!
 * Have a nice day,
 * Regards.

 * Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. Yes, ACF does allow great flexibility (and I do 
   use it as much as possible), with just one major drawback – no way to mix system
   and custom fields in an existing system section. So I was thinking – since your“
   Post Field” offers exactly that for posts – why not have it for users too ?! 
   As I described in my example with extending the user naming scheme – it could
   be of great help in some cases. To be honest, I’m somewhat new to WordPress and
   I was really wondering how everyone around the world lives with such a big shortcoming
   of the default system at all – I’m from Bulgaria and we have 3 segment names,
   working for Dutch company – 3 to 5 segment names, latino world – up to … idk …
   16 names :-))) … I’m really wondering how everyone is handling this when WP have
   just first and last … even UK and US can have 3 segments ? So, if you think it
   can’t be useful – it’s fine, as after all you’re the one that decides priorities
   on your own product, just have in mind – it can be something for a lot of people.
   Other solutions are available, of course – like building full custom dahsboards
   and separate member systems, but in many cases it is an overkill.
