      1. As an admin, define a required custom field.
      2. Make sure that users are redirected to the profile edit page to provide a value for required custom fields (same as for missing name or email).
      3. Make sure that if the required field is invisible or it is locked (and therefore can't be edited by the user), the user is not redirected to the profile page.

      Tips for extra tests:

      • If users are redirected to edit the profile and fill missing required custom fields, the filepicker / repositories should keep working on that page (applies to custom fields only).
      • In MNet environment, adding a custom profile field to the service provider site as required is not (has never been) supported. Users are expected to get an error that their profile is incomplete and are sent back to their identity provider site.

    Description

      In /lib/moodlelib.php, the function user_not_fully_set_up() needs to be improved to check that required custom user profile fields have been completed.

      Currently users only need to complete their firstname, lastname and email fields in order to be considered 'fully set up'. The only way to ensure that required custom profile fields are completed is to modify core Moodle code, which is not ideal.
