Allow additional profile fields to be included into the signup process

[imath]

I agree with this ticket, we should mimic what we are making available from front end from the BP REST API.

Hi @imath and @renatonascalves

I was looking to use the new signup feature through the REST API in BuddyPress 14 but I am unable to send certain data successfully. I have countries/areas already setup for a few years now and when I send "Sacramento, California, United States" it is taken as 3 values when it is just one. When the user activates the account, the field is blank. Hoping for a reply! Cheers.

@berzki Are you using V1 or V2? Can you share the request?

[berzki]

@renatonascalves I am using the standard release version, so V1.

Field 2 is a checkbox field type. But this happens for any values with commas in them such as a location and that a user can select multiples of. This includes multi select field types.

Request:

{
    "context" : "edit",
    "user_login" : "mike",
    "user_email" : "mike@user.mail",
    "password"   : "password",
    "signup_field_data": [
        {
            "field_id": "1",
            "value": "Mike"
        },
        {
            "field_id": "2",
            "value": "Sacramento, California, United States"
        }
    ]
}

@berzki That's helpful. Can you also share the type of the field? Is it a text field? A multi-select one?

[berzki]

@renatonascalves The field is a checkbox type. I have tested it with a multi select box too and the result was the same.
