Create custom validation that checks against all other users

    I have already coded a custom validation that checks an ID against a custom regular expression, but I would like to further enhance the validation by making sure no other users have that particular ID. Any advice on how to accomplish this? It seems that the built-in email validation has this feature, so I believe this request should be possible.

    Hello @chronosphere

    Are you trying to validate a custom field or built in username?

    Hello @chronosphere

    Please try following code snippets:

    function um_custom_validate_userid( $key, $array, $args ) {

	 
	if ( isset( $args[$key] ) ) {

		$users = get_users( array(
    		'meta_key' => 'userid_meta_key',
    		'meta_value' => $args[$key]
		));

		if( ! empty($users )){
			UM()->form()->add_error( $key, __( 'userid is not unique.', 'ultimate-member' ) );
		}
		
	}
}
add_action( 'um_custom_field_validation_userid', 'um_custom_validate_userid', 30, 3 );

    Please remember to replace ‘userid‘ and userid_meta_key. You can also follow this documentation regarding custom validation.
