Plugin: BuddyPress Xprofile Custom Field Types
Site stack: BuddyBoss Platform 3.4.3, BuddyBoss Theme 2.21.0

Issue: The admin settings sections for custom field types (confirmed with Token and Custom Taxonomy Multiselector) do not appear anywhere in BuddyBoss’s field editor. Creating or editing a field of either type shows only the generic fields (Name, Type, Alternate Title, Instructions, Profile Types, Visibility, Required) with no type-specific configuration at all, no token list textarea, no taxonomy picker.

For comparison, a native BuddyBoss field type (Multi Select) shows a full Options section in the same editor (add/remove/reorder options, set default value), confirming the editor does support type-specific sections in general, just not for this plugin’s types.

I traced this on my end: BuddyBoss’s current field editor is a React modal built on @wordpress/components, not the classic server-rendered admin screen. I don’t see any request for the plugin’s assets in the browser network tab when this modal is open, and the plugin’s admin_new_field_html() output (which fires on the xprofile_field_after_submitbox action) never appears in the rendered DOM. My working theory is that this new modal doesn’t fire that action at all, so the plugin’s settings markup has nowhere to render on current BuddyBoss versions.

Could you confirm whether this is a known limitation, and whether there’s a plan to support BuddyBoss’s newer field-editor UI specifically? I understand from BuddyBoss’s own integration page that this compatibility isn’t guaranteed on your end, so I want to understand whether this is worth waiting on or whether I should try to hack my way around it.

Thanks!!
