# Field`FieldName`

Allows you to create or edit a field associated with the specified user. Use the following format to create a field:

    FieldFieldName=FieldValue

where,

`FieldName` | is the name of the field. This name must begin with a letter and cannot contain any spaces.
`FieldValue` | is the value to store in the field.

TIP: For UserEdit, you can use a `FieldValue` to delete the field.

NOTE: For UserCopy and UserRead, you can use this parameter only if you set DeferLogin to `True`.

For UserEdit, if `FieldName` does not currently exist, it is created for the user. If you use the `./res/modules/user_email` custom library to send e-mails to users (set by the Library parameter in the Community component configuration file), this allows you, for example, to override the configuration file default values for individual users by creating the following fields:

- `AddSetToReadDocuments`
- `EmailFormat`
- `EmailResultsType`
- `ExcludeReadDocuments`
- `MyFromField`
- `MyFromNameField`
- `SendEmail`
- `Subject`

Actions: | UserAdd UserCopy UserEdit UserRead UserReadAgentList
Type: | String
Default: |
Example: | `FieldPhoneExt=007` In this example, a `PhoneExt` field with the value `007` (for example, a telephone extension) was associated with the new user.
