As designed custom user field / not showing on register-page / when user-editable unchecked

[erich37]

when creating a simple custom profile-field (text field) and having "User editable" unchecked, then this field is not showing-up at the registration-form.

why should the user get the field while the registration, if you wanted that he's not able to edit it?

Exactly what ragtek said. This makes total sense. If you want it to be editable by the user, you need to give them at least one chance to edit it.
