Update User

This form action updates a User account, allowing a bespoke change details form to be built instead of using the standard one provided by the software. This action will only be available when the MyAccount Registration Forms integraton is enabled.

When adding the action mapping template to the form, you are prompted to map data from the form submission, to fields on the user record. All fields are optional.

Selecting the 'Update User' Form Action
Configuring an 'Update User' Form template

When the action is run on form submission, the signed-in user's record is updated with the data which has been mapped within the action template. This could fail for the following reasons:

  • The user is not signed in (use the "Registered users only" setting within the form to prevent this scenario)
  • The user attempted to update their email address to one linked to another user's account
  • The email address provided is invalid (uses the same Email Address validation that can be applied to Jadu Central Form Questions)
  • Some of the data provided exceeds the maximum allowed size for the field(s).
tip

As the change details form using this action will be capturing users' personal data, it is advised that data retention policies are set up within Jadu Central forms such that data is not held within Jadu Central received form logs for any longer than necessary.
