Is it possible to add an unique field in the user profile area? If so, how?

You need our Custom Profile Field Simple:Press plugin...

I've read the codex for the custom profile fields add-on and played around with the plugin itself and it's not doing what I want it to do. Perhaps I missed something.

I want my users to be able to list their entire video game collection so they have a way to keep track of the video games they have.

My vision is they would be able to pick from a predetermined selections of systems (That I selected), then have them type in the name of the game for that system, maybe add a description and picture, then add it to their list. And then keep doing that over and over again until they have compiled a complete list of their collection.

Can the custom profile field plugin do that?

If not, is there any wordpress plugin you've heard of that can accomplish such a thing?

maybe not directly...  the custom profile fields lets you add a single custom profile field (as many single ones as you want) to their profile...  you can add diff types (ie input, radio, checkbox, select, etc)... but each one is standalone....

what you want is a combo/multiple field... start with a selection and then modify another field based on that selection... with potentially multiple input fields for the original single selection...

you could mimic it a bit with a selection for system type and then have a separate input field for the name, but they wont be linked...

I know of multiple wp plugins that add custom fields to the profile like we do, but afraid I am not aware of any combo linked profile fields like you explained...
