Hi, We are in the process of migrating from another user database and have a custom database setup for this purpose. The login script there defines some user fields that don’t seem to be available to set from a hook script. So, how do I set user fields outside app_metadata and user_metadata from a…

Hi @guy1812 , Can you post your hook in its entirety(omitting sensitive data of course)? I got the metadata to persist when I used the example code. There may be something more going on here. Thanks, Dan

My bad, I was playing around and persisted metadata from a rule. Until you will answer I will freeze my activity on the platform. From rules it works well, but not from the hook Here is a video where you can see it better: [Issue persisting user.user_metadata Auth0]

@guy1812 , I think I wasn’t clear enough, apologies. Could you please post the code for the hook in its entirety. Thanks!

module.exports = function (user, context, cb) { var response = { user: user, }; var body = {data: JSON.stringify({user, context}, null, 2)}; console.log('secrets', context.webtask.secrets); return Promise.resolve({name: 'test'}) .then(json => { response.user.user_metadata …

I have also validated myself and tried to remove the pre-reg-hook and create a new one with the code: module.exports = function (user, context, cb) { var response = {}; response.user = user; response.user.user_metadata = {a: 'test'} cb(null, response); }; And the user_metadata is not shown…

@guy1812 Both of these hooks worked for me :thinking:. There must be another config that is interfering. Do you have any other hooks? How about anything else that is changing metadata?

Thanks! I don’t know what to do next, No other hooks nor rules. Can you go into my tenant (I am PMing you the tenant) and check? [Screen Shot 2020-01-31 at 10.48.41 AM] [image]

@guy1812 , I have narrowed this down a bit. I can get everything working fine with a normal db connection, but it will not work with my passwordless sms connection. I am starting to think this is a bug and not a misconfig. Thanks for your patience on this.

After more testing I am fairly sure this is a bug. I submitted it to the team for review.

yep it is a bug - on passwordless, user_metadata is not persisted on pre-reg hook.
Thanks @dan.woda!
