Hi @like_mike 

I understand question you have asked - for that you will require to create a new customer attribute programatically Name - ERP-ID

To get to know how to create customer attribute you will require to refer following links :

Hi @like_mike 

Yes i am going to share the same link - it will also helps you to achieve the same.

Ultimately my solution for your problem is to create a customer attribute that's way you can achieve the functionality.

[like_mike]

with the InstallData.php i got the DB-entry in the table "eav_attribute"

this works ;-)

do you know, how i got the field backend with this (mymodule/etc/adminhtml/iu_component/xy.xml)

thank you for your answers :-)

Hi @like_mike 

Well the file and code you have placed it is for category attribute not for customer.

As you have already created customer attribute - it will be there at backend - you don't require to put this file.

If you want the same in backend customer edit form then you will require to create file on this location -  adminhtml/ui_component/customer_form.xml  and put below code in it :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">
    <fieldset name="customer">
        <field name="your_sample_attribute1" sortOrder="5" formElement="checkbox">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="default" xsi:type="number">0</item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </field>
        <field name="your_sample_attribute2" sortOrder="6" formElement="multiselect">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="default" xsi:type="number">0</item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </field>
    </fieldset>
</form>

Later you need to adjust that code based on your attribute name and its type.

for both files

mymodule/etc/adminhtml/ui_component/customer_form.xml 

and

mymodule/Setup/InstallData.php

i need only 1 field named "erp_id" as a string or varchar(128)

in the backend form "customer information"

this snippet is working perfectly :-)

i just created one file...

my/module/Setup/InstallData.php
