Can't see published custom user data

1

When a new account is created, i’m using the following code on the server to create a new field on a user document:

Accounts.onCreateUser(function(options, user) {
    console.log('new user created')
    user.custom = {
      profileImg: 'kerbal.png'
    } 
    return user;
  });

Then, i’m publishing that custom field:

Meteor.publish('usercustom', function() {
    return Meteor.users.find({
      _id: this.userId
    },
      {
        fields: {
          profileImg: 1
        }
    });
  })

In one of my templates onCreated, I subscribe to that data using Meteor.subscribe('usercustom').

Is something else needed? I am still unable to see my custom field in Mongol or access it in code. What am i missing?

You should be using

fields: {
  'custom.profileImg': 1
}
