User profile fields

Template:Moodle 1.8Location: Administration > Users > Accounts > User profile fields

In Moodle 1.8 onwards, administrators are able to create new user profile categories and fields. Profile fields may be a menu of choices or text input and may be required or not.

For one thing, this means that U.S. users will finally be able to have valid addresses, including *states*, without which an address can be meaningless. (Which state is Springfield in? Oh, 15 of them!)
