Description
Description:
If I create a custom field in "accounts" I see the node name in the input form, instead of the label title.
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to accounts and enter in "Custom Fields to Show in User Info" this values:
[{"Team":"Team"},{"Job Titel":"JobDescription"}] - Scroll down to Registration and enter this into the the custom fields textarea:
{
"Team": {
"type": "text",
"required": false,
"minLength": 2,
"public": true
},
"JobDescription": {
"type": "text",
"required": false,
"minLength": 2,
"public": true
}
}
- Then the account input looks like this:
And the output like this:

Expected behavior:
The input field "JobDescrition" should habe a label with the title "Job Titel".
Server Setup Information:
- Version of Rocket.Chat Server: V4.5.2 & V4.6.1

Research direction
Start in the Accounts settings and Registration custom-fields flow described in the reproduction steps, then reproduce the account input with the Team and JobDescription fields. Trace how the configured node names are mapped to displayed labels; done means the JobDescription input and resulting account view show the title “Job Titel” while the field key remains JobDescription.
