This proposal suggests expanding this structure to include custom fields, allowing for a more versatile user profile. +This proposal is designed to complement rather than replace +[MSC1769](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1769) (Extensible profiles as +rooms). While [MSC1769](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pull/1769) offers a more +complex solution for extensible profiles, this proposal focuses on enabling the storage of small, +arbitrary key:value pairs at the global level. + This proposal does not seek to enforce the content or usage of these fields but rather to add a framework for users to have extra data that can be further clarified and extended in the future as community usage of these fields grows.
