> Hey @harout7 To configure the new Authn MFE with custom fields from the registration extension form, additional configuration is required. If you have required fields, they will be added to the register page. However, if your fields are optional, they will be placed on an additional registration page that can be skipped. Firstly, you need to enable the ENABLE\_DYNAMIC\_REGISTRATION\_FIELDS setting from the settings file. This setting can be added from the plugin where the extension form is place…

I want to add fields with authn MFE  
I Create plugins

```auto
from tutor import hooks

hooks.Filters.ENV_PATCHES.add_item(
    (
        "openedx-lms-common-settings",
        "FEATURES['ENABLE_DYNAMIC_REGISTRATION_FIELDS'] = True"

        )
    

```

and activate

If I want add fields gender ,year\_of\_birth, level\_of\_education to register page  
current register page

Hi @choltha

If you want to add fields from the available extra fields you can add them to a plguin like

```auto
REGISTRATION_EXTRA_FIELDS["gender"] = "required"

```

> Hi @campusedxud Welcome to Open edX! This topic is a little confusing, because we used to have the ability to add arbitrary fields to the registration form using a custom plugin app. However now, we can only enable a predefined list of optional fields: see [REGISTRATION\_EXTRA\_FIELDS](https://github.com/openedx/edx-platform/blob/open-release/quince.1/lms/envs/common.py#L3600-L3622) for details. If you want more fields than these, you’ll need to write some code. But to add the predefined extra fields to the registration form, you just need to change some settings used to run your Open edX appl…

```auto
hooks.Filters.ENV_PATCHES.add_item(
            (
            "openedx-lms-common-settings",
            "FEATURES['ENABLE_DYNAMIC_REGISTRATION_FIELDS'] = True"
            "REGISTRATION_EXTRA_FIELDS['gender'] = required"

```auto
