App_metadata not updated by the post-login action

Problem statement

We can not update the user’s app_metadata after signing in with a post-login action. Below is the script.

  fetch(path, options)
    .then((response) => {[...]
    }).then((body) => {      if ( <some condition>) {
        api.user.setAppMetadata("key", "value");
        return; }

Cause

You called api.user.setAppMetadata(key,value) inside a fetch command.

Solution

Please update the post-login action by moving api.user.setAppMetadata(key,value) outside the fetch().then() clause.
