[Solved] Missing Feature Flag for Custom Profile Attributes in Mobile App v2.25

Troubleshooting
1

While reviewing the changelog for the Mattermost mobile app v2.25 on this page, I noticed the introduction of custom profile attributes. The documentation states that this feature requires server version v10.5 and the corresponding feature flag to be enabled. However, I was unable to locate the necessary feature flag in the config.json file. Could you please clarify where this feature flag should be configured or if there are additional steps required to enable custom profile attributes?

Added visualization of custom profile attributes. Requires server v10.5 and feature flag enabled."

Thank you for your assistance!

I have checked latest config.json by restarting docker container and checked 10.5 release notes.

Found nothing at all.

Anyway thank you for your reply.

In config.json, under “FeatureFlags”, set CustomProfileAttributes=true Please report back if that works or not… the response I got was unclear as to whether this does work, or should work.

After enabling that flag you should see a System Properties item in the console.

I have enabled CustomProfileAttrihutes feature by following this tutorial: Feature flags as I do not have featureflags in my config.json.

After adding the right env var, I checked admin console-feature flags and found this feature flag value is true.

However, the menu on admin console still doesn’t containa item like System Properties. I also searched for this settings, but found nothing.

Is this feature limited to enterprise edition?

I’ve confirmed it is an Enterprise feature.

I added these to my .env file and both remain false on my self hosted docker /admin_console/experimental/feature_flags

MM_FEATUREFLAGS_CUSTOMPROFILEATTRIBUTES=true
MM_FEATUREFLAGS_APPSENABLED=true
