Userfield trims leading zeros

[raywjohnson]

Re-posting this here as the support at vbulletin.com is non-existent. I posted Oct 2018, still not response.

Initial post:

I have a userfield for storing Zip Codes. "Single Line Text Box" -- but it trims leading zeros from foreign zip code (00622 becomes 622 for Puerto Rico).

Is there a setting or simple fix?

Follow up today:

I have narrowed it down to the 'forcetext' array.

How to add the other custom fields to the ['userfield']['forcetext'] array (in core/packages/vbforum/db/mysql/querydefs.php)?

Thanks for any info or insight,

Update. vB.com answered. No way to fix other than hacking.
