Hello,  
  
  
  
I’m trying to add a new field to users. I would like to specify a “pre-filter” that will apply to all queries done by the user. Any suggestion?  
  
  
  
I added the field to the user class but I think this will create some problems in future when I will update mautic…  
  
  
  
thank you for your answer.

/\*\*  
\* @var string  
\*/  
private $prefilter;

row: 216 function: loadMetadata  
$builder-\>createField(‘prefilter’, ‘text’)  
-\>nullable()  
-\>build();

row: 289  
/\*\*  
\* Set prefilter.  
\*  
\* @param string $prefilter  
\*  
\* @return User  
\*/  
public function setPrefilter($prefilter)  
{  
$this-\>isChanged(‘prefilter’, $prefilter);  
$this-\>prefilter = $prefilter;

```
    return $this;
}

/**
 * Get prefilter.
 *
 * @return string
 */
public function getPrefilter()
{
    return $this->prefilter;
}

```

File-\> UserBundleFormTypeUserType.php

row: 250 function: buildForm

$defaultPrefilter = ‘’;  
if (isset($options[‘data’]) && $options[‘data’]-\>getPrefilter() === null) {  
$defaultPrefilter = ‘’;  
} elseif (isset($options[‘data’])) {  
$defaultPrefilter = $options[‘data’]-\>getPrefilter();  
}

```
    $builder->add(
        'prefilter',
        'textarea',
        [
            'label' => 'Prefilter',
            'label_attr' => ['class' => 'control-label'],
            'required' => false,
            'attr' => [
                'class' => 'form-control',
            ],
