[Resolved] Cred Select Country Field – Needs to be editable in WordPress Edit User

[Author]

We've created a Cred Generic field which uses a shortcode "[credcountries]" for the user to select their country from on a User Form:

<div class="form-group">
<label>Country<span class="req">*</span></label>
[cred_generic_field type='select' field='wpcf-country' class='form-control']
{
"default": "[types usermeta='wpcf-country' output='raw' user_is_author='true'][/types]",
"required":1,
"persist": 1,
"options":[ [credcountries] ]
}
[/cred_generic_field]
</div>

This all works great, but when the site admins try to edit the user on the backend, a select box is just displayed with two options:
"--- not set ---"
"Option title 1"

Is there any way or documentation where we can get the items that we generate in the "credcountries" shortcode to appear in the standard WordPress "Edit User" form?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - to fill the value for your custom user field you can use the filter: wpt_field_options

For example:

add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'add_some_options', 10, 3);
//dynamically populate select field from Types
function add_some_options( $options, $title, $type ){
    switch( $title ){
        case 'Status':
          
            $options = array();
            $speakers = get_users(array( 'role' => 'Subscriber' ));
          
            foreach ($speakers as $user) {
                $options[] = array(
                    '#value' => $user->ID,
                    '#title' => $user->user_login,
                );
            }
            break;
    }
    return $options;
}

Where:
- please replace Status with your user field name and adjust the code accordingly.
