Hi Jake, Thanks for the reply.
Where i am stuck now when i am trying to display the new fields for the users to edit. I never see it in the edit html form. I am trying to get my head around the plp. I did a sample test for adding a dmProfile field and it worked, but the dmhtml seems a little more complex. Any help?
