    I want to store extra information with my users, the only option I see is to create extended fields per user.

    How can I add extended fields for every user at once instead of creating them manually for every user?

    This question has been answered by BobRay. See the first response.

      with regards,

      In the future, there may be a checkbox for that option when you create an extended field.

      In the meantime, the only alternative would be a utility snippet or plugin, something like this:

      <?php
$users = $modx->getCollection('modUser');

foreach ($users as $user) {

     $profile = $user->getOne('Profile');
     $extendedFields = $profile->get('extended;)
     $extendedFields['newField'] = 'NewValue'; // could be ""
     $profile->set('extended', $extendedFields);
     $profile->save();
}

          I assume you know you could add hidden fields in the registration to create these on user creation as well:

                          <input type="hidden" name="januarySpaces" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryTables" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryChairs" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryNeedsElectric" value="" />
                <input type="hidden" name="januaryMisc" value="" />
