  • you don't need to create fields in frontend , they will come with this code: 'used_in_forms' => ['customer_account_create','adminhtml_checkout','adminhtml_customer'],

I created some custom field in customer account edit page, and i saved their value in database by editing editpost.php file.

  1. Please don't change the default file, so first overide that file in your custom module

  2. then in execute function , under try, put these code

suppose that i created one field "myname" on frontend in edit form, and one field "name" in admin panel edit form. in database, the column name is also should be "name" then the code will be;

$customerCandidateDataObject->setCustomAttribute('name',$this->getRequest()->getParam('myname'));
