Problem updating app metadata in onExecutePreUserRegistration action

Hi @scott8,

Thanks for reaching out to the Auth0 Community!

I understand that you’re trying to migrate from Auth0 Hooks to Actions and have issues updating the user’s app_metadata.

After testing your code snippet, I can confirm that it works and the user’s app_metadata is being updated with the correct information. You can verify by checking the user’s profile either on the Auth0 Dashboard or with the Management API v2 Get a user endpoint.

Now, if you plan on using the new metadata for additional logic, you’ll need to use event.user.app_metadata = resp.body.app_metadata; as well to be able to see the current user’s app_metadata.

Hoped this helps!

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.

Thank you.
