Thread:Project:Support desk/Adding parameters to be stored in user properties when creating accounts via the API

So I have been successfully creating user accounts via the API. Huzzah! What I would like to do is supply in CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS additional parameters that will be stored in the user_properties table. For instance, I would like to create entries for favorite_color (red, green, blue, etc.). How would I go about doing this? I realize that I could directly query the DB from within my account creation script, however I am hesitant to do that for obvious reasons.
