Is there any way to allow editable fields to be used when working with user profile fields? I am trying to create a simple in/out board using Drupal and a list of fields taken from their user profile - what building they work in, whether they will be in or out and when they intend to return.

Under Drupal 5, this was contained in a User Profile node type, no problems with Editablefields there. However, in Drupal 6 the user profile is part of the user and not a node. Help!

Reading your post again, (and more carefully), I´ve noticed that you say:

The content Profile module provides CCK fields, so no problem there with editablefields.
The problem here is that core profile fields aren´t supported, with is very inconvenient... at least in my case.

Is there a proyect or idea to implement this feature?

Thanks again!

Would be a great addition seeing the future of profile fields in D7. Subscribing. Thanks

defo needed - even just for plain bulk editing of users in a list form would make this very useful

@jaclayton: as suggested in #2 you'll need to use content profile module and add those fields as CCK fields if you want to be able to use editablefields module.
@Rosamunda: sorry, there aren't any plans to support core user profile in this module.
@jpcwebb: in D7 that should theoretically be easy. We'll see when we start porting the module to D7.

Cheers,
Andrei
