CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

As we begin testing 3.1 in an effort to move from 1.9, I'm reminded of mysteries of differences for how we run CiviCRM from others.  One of those differences is made apparent by the user registration form.

In 1,9 we did a separate profile and in 3.1 we hacked out every possible field except first_name, last_name and email address.  We must be running differently, be cause I can't imagine why others would want any more than that in the registration form.   When other fields are included in the registration form, the content of each and every field in the registration form must be individually copied from the contact record or the saving of the registration form will blank out the contact record fields.

Curious why others would want the registration fields beyond the minimum.

Thanks.  Dave
