Enhancing Profile Fields RFC

Hello everyone,

I'm considering some enhancements of Profile Fields, by adding more flexibility to the construction of the form fields In general, I'd like to add:

  • Field Type

right now, you have only one field type available: a text box I'd like to add radio buttons, and checkboxes (to start off with)

  • Constraints

Right now, you can have a field required, or not I'd like to add the ability to set some sort of constraint For example: Only letters, or numbers, needs to be a phone number, or a US State, etc - I can ship with a whole slew of these types of reject's This would be most useful foe text boxes Radio/Checkbox groups would just be constrained with values that are set up in labels (below)

  • Labels

Labels would allow you to set a label for the checkbox/radio groups and allow you to set a different value that's saved, when that label is selected

Textbooks wouldn't generally use labels

Are there any other most-have options for Profile Fields?
