Hi there,

In order to set a custom user field, you have to round-trip it through the service - the line you've got in the creationComplete handler won't be enough. In general, the "descriptor" classes are meant to describe the state of the app, but can't be manipulated directly - you refer to the appropriate manager class' APIs to make changes (which will then be reflected in updates to the descriptors).

In this case, the API you want is here : http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/acrobatcom/com/adobe/rtc/sharedManagers/UserManager.html#setCustomUse...()

(Note that you have to set up your custom fields ahead of time by registering them at developer time - either use the Room Console for this, or use the registerCustomUserField method in userManager).

hope that helps
