 Hi,

 At the moment, when using the BuddyPress REST API to signup a member, only
 basic information is required. Would it be possible for it to mirror the
 BuddyPress Register page process (i.e. fill in all required fields and
 then the member can continue to the activate process)?

 Being able to use the "Use this field in the site registration form."
 option in profile fields is great. Currently, if we were to implement
 registration via an app which uses the API and enforce compulsory fields,
 it would first have to do the account sign up, wait for the account to be
 activated, and then have a separate process where the user can enter the
 required fields. While this process could work theoretically, it contains
 a lot of steps, and leaves it open to scenarios where a person can create
 an account, activate the account, and not complete the rest of the
 process, leaving empty profiles. Website users would see incomplete
 profiles and this would not be fair on those that chose to use the
 website, and were forced to fill in the required signup fields during
 registration.

 Is there a way this is already possible? Please let us know, if so.

 Thank you.
