Janrain field not getting updated


We have a Janrain implementation for user account management. I have added a new field givenName that is available in the schema, to a flow and to a form within that flow. I can see the field when I get details of it via https://v1.api.eu.janrain.com/config/APPNAME/flows/FLOW/fields/givenName.

But when I try to set a value to this field via a call to oauth/update_profile_native API, the field value is not getting set. I am using the correct flow_version. And I can see other fields like gender getting set correctly. thanks.


Solution

  • OK. We discussed this with Janrain and were advised that the presence of a special widget-type field in the form was preventing the field from getting updated. The workaround was to attach a dummy value to this special widget-type field to ensure that the givenName field gets updated. Thanks
