Add Custom User Field (Dropdown) in Moodle - moodle

Hi I need to add Custom User Field (Dropdown) in Moodle. I know I can add it through https://docs.moodle.org/24/en/User_profile_fields and https://docs.moodle.org/dev/User_profile_fields
I went ahead with above method and added dropdown accordingly. However, when I see it in database, {user_info_field} it shows only one row with my select fields seperated by new line. Screenshot is listed.
I want these params to be appear in separate rows. Because, I've few development in pipeline which involves creation of custom invoicing plugin that allows to store pricing for each university.

That is how dropdown fields store their options in Moodle - all the values, separated by newlines.
If you want a list of possible values, retrieve mdl_user_info_field.param1 then use explode("\n", $fieldvalue).

I Used in built cohort system to categorized users in different University. Here I didn't have to create custom profile field.
For invoicing plugin, I will manipulate same cohorts (in my case University) by creating local plugin which adds tables to database field. Thank you all for your help.

I addded a custom field in mdl_user in SQL, I want to show this custom field in the frontend, in profile edit page

I am using Moodle 3.8, I added a custom field called razon_social, I just want to show it in the profile edit page, in the optional section.
Custom field added in mdl_user
Section where I want to show my custom field
Does anyone know in which file in .php, do I have to call my custom field?
Thank you very much for your time
I want to do this, I have Moodle 3.8

Adding a custom field to the mdl_user table (or any other core table) is a really bad idea. There are all sorts of ways it can conflict with the core code (particularly for tables which Moodle uses with "persistent" classes, but still a problem in other situations).
Thankfully, Moodle already has a build in custom user field system (using the tables mdl_user_info_field and mdl_user_info_data) and fields defined this way automatically appear on the user profile page (unless you mark them as hidden).
It should be fairly easy to write a script that will transfer the data from the mdl_user field you created, into a custom user field. After that, you can drop the extra field you added.

How to auto populate values for a drop down field in Azure Devops?

We have two fields Fix Versions and Affects Version in a bug wherein the drop down values are to be auto populated based on the tags created in Azure Repos. For ex: if there are tags v1.001.560, v1.001.561 etc and for any new tags created, the tag version should appear as a drop down value for these fields. Is there a feasible approach to achieve this? Please suggest.
In short, there is no method to meet your needs now. As a suggestion, you could submit a suggestion ticket to suggest the feature on: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/report?space=21&entry=suggestion. That will allow you to directly interact with the appropriate product group, and makes it more convenient for the product group to collect and categorize your suggestions.
DevOps only supports setting to specific values for your custom picklist fields. Please note custom field is used to support tracking data requirements you have that aren't met with the existing set of fields.
Besides, to realize your idea, we should auto populate tag values to the field when opening the work item. However, we also not have such a trigger even though getting the tags with Rest API.

Azure DevOps: Field with default value containing another fields value

I am trying to find a way in Azure DevOps of displaying a field on a User Story layout that is made up of a URL plus the value of another field on the same story.
We have an external support ticket system where all of our support calls are logged. When the story (or even Defect) is created, we have a field where a support reference is entered.
I want another field that combines a URL and the support reference so it creates a link to the support ticket.
Is this do-able?
Thanks,
Craig
This is achievable. You can Add a custom field to a work item type for an inherited process.
1,First you need to create a inherited process.
Go to Organization settings, From the Process page under Boards, open the … context menu of the process you'll use to create an inherited process, and then choose Create inherited process. Choose the same system process—Agile, Basic, Scrum, or CMMI—that was used to create the project that you want to customize.
2, Add a custom field to an existing work item type for the inherited process.
From the Process page of the selected inherited process, choose the work item type(User Story) you want to add the custom field to.
Select the work item type and click new field or ... to add a field under a group.
For example i add a new field Support Url under group Planning(click Options to define a default value for this field).
3, Apply the customized process to your project.
Click team projects of the process shown as below screenshot.
Open the … context menu for the process and choose the Change team projects… option.
Then you will have the custom field with default value for the work item type in your project.
For detailed steps please check Microsoft Document there.
Update:
Field value made up of a static part, plus another field
There is no direct way or any tool i can find to achieve this. However there is a complicate workaround to achieve this.
You can try creating a service server to to combine the field values and update the workitem field with workitem update rest api, and add a service hook to this service server.
You can refer to the service hook sever provided by Microsoft. Check reate a pull request status server with Node.js

JIRA copy custom fields in Azure Data factory

I am aware that JIRA dataset is in beta stage right now in Data factory. But still is there any way to pull the custom fields data?
Right now when i am copying JIRA issues data it is giving me only the standard fields present in any of the Issue.
I want custom fields too. Any way?
So through hit and trial, i got to know that tables that starts with 'Extras- ' are the ones which has custom fields and that too masked. Again through hit and trial I figured which field value I wanted to extract.
You can try the advanced tab.
For linked service:
advanced tab for linked service
For dataset:

Oracle Application Express plugin development using v4.2.2

I am working on some Oracle APEX Plugin development and wonder whether the following requirement is possible.
I basically would like to be able, via a plugin, create a form with say six page items, where two of those page items might be LOVs, another two are page items are text fields, where users have to enter values and the remaining two are display items only.
Based on this form requirement, I want to be able to upload/install this plugin within other Oracle Application Express apps/schemas, so when installed within other apps, this plugin is rendered within a region and the data is stored within a table in that schema, but using the form described above.
Can this be achieved building a plugin in Oracle APEX, and if so, how?
Create a stock application with the pages and regions that need to be replicated, export that, and import it into the other workspaces that need it. Then, when developing an application, copy the regions and/or pages as necessary from that stock application.
