I am receiving a Payload validation error but can’t seem to identify the issue. Everything looks fine from my side. I am using Xano for reference. I can successfully execute this call as a test from the Autho0 Management API docs with a production token so there is no issue there. Why doesn’t it like this value?

Hi @rwarner,

Thanks for reaching out to the Auth0 Community!

The error indicates that the request passed a string instead of a boolean:  
Actual behavior:  
`email_verified: "true"`

Expected behavior:  
`email_verified: true`

I was able to reproduce this error as well:

With that, I recommend double-checking that your Update a user request passes a boolean value for the `email_verified` property.

I hope this helps!

Please reach out if you have any further questions.

Thanks,  
Rueben

Hi Rueben. I understand the error. My point is that _I am_ passing a boolean value and it is returning this error. Thoughts?

Hi @rwarner,

Thank you for your reply.

Could you please share with me the full request you made?

It seems that, somewhere in the code, the `true` value is not being treated as a boolean.

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks,  
Rueben

Hi @rwarner,

Here is also an example script I ran that worked.

Could you also please try this script and let me know if it works for you?

Take note that I used Passwordless Email as my connection.

```auto
var axios = require('axios');
var data = JSON.stringify({
  "connection": "email",
  "email": "test@example.com",
  "email_verified": true
});

var config = {
  method: 'post',
  url: 'https://{{auth0_domain}}/api/v2/users',
  headers: { 
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {{auth0_token}}', 
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  data : data
};

axios(config)
.then(function (response) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
})
.catch(function (error) {
  console.log(error);
});

```

Thanks,  
Rueben
