Is it possible to define if a field gets shown on the signup form or not?

I see that you have various options to show or edit fields in the profile.
Being able to "Hide from form" would be extremely useful as not all fields need to be present on the reg form at signup...minimal form is better for completions!

Hi Philip

Where will the fields be shown in this case? From administrator area and on edit user profile later?

I guess we can support it if it's really needed

Hi Tuan,
thanks for your response. Yes the idea is that it better to keep the form very small so that people can provide just enough to get the form filled and then fill in the rest later.
Many studies show that people will drop off from a form if it has a lot of fields.
Having this option would be a great addition to OS Membership, I don't think it is very difficult to do.
Having a "% profile completed check" would also be great.

Another way to do this is to have a page break element that allows for multiple page, this would make OS Membership extremely flexible but I think this idea is more complicated.

Thanks

Hello Philip

We will try to support it. However, it would take sometime to implement, will add it to 2.16.2 todo list
