Save data of Custom Fields in Liferay

I have followed all the steps of this guide to add a custom field in Liferay, and able to get the label and text box to enter the data on the account details page (html\portlet\users_admin\user\details.jsp).

My code is:

<div class="exp-ctrl-holder">
    <liferay-ui:custom-attribute
        className="<%= User.class.getName() %>"
        classPK="<%= 0 %>"
        editable="<%= true %>"
        label="<%= true %>"
        name="Bio"
    />
</div>

The problem is that when i save its not populating the field on page. When i write anything in my "Bio: input" and i click on save, the page loads and then what I had written is cleared. Why? What's missing?

Thanks,

This is incorrect: classPK="<%= 0 %>".

classPK is basically the user's primary-key i.e. userId. So while adding the User classPK will be zero since there is no user created yet, but when you have saved or are updating, then the User would have a classPK and the custom-field Bio you are saving will be associated with that userId.

Instead you need to use

`classPK="<%= (selUser != null) ? selUser.getUserId() : 0 %>"

so that when you save and the User is updated, the Users custom-field would be populated.
