Topic: Add more fields to user Account Information

Is there any way to add more fields to the Account Information page that users fill out when they create their Dataverse user account? We are thinking about adding a checkbox for users to acknowledge our Deposit Agreement.

Well, there's already a checkbox for "General Terms of Use":

Can you add a section in there for your Deposit Agreement?

It's configured with the :ApplicationTermsOfUse setting.

Are there any hidden restrictions on the text used for the General Terms of Use? Our Terms of Use Statement is 22,963 characters long and only uses the supported HTML tags. It displays on the Account Sign Up page just fine, but when the user clicks the Create Account button the form does not submit.

Huh. Not that I know of. If you're able to upload file you're using to a GitHub issue, please go ahead and create one.

I'm seeing the same issue no matter what the text is, so maybe it's not the length or HTML tags. I've created a GitHub issue: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/12845

Thanks! You probably don't mean version 2.4.

Apologies, I was going off the version in the compose.yml file. It's actually 6.10.1.
