Netlify Identity Can't Update User_Metadata

Support
1

Doing this strictly client side - just some simple user_metadata. The following does not seem to work:

const user_metadata = { data: { full_name: this.fullName } } console.log('and now im sending ', user_metadata) netlifyIdentity.gotrue.currentUser().update({user_metadata}) .then(user => { console.log('updated', user) })

The “now Im sending” bit looks right, but the response from Netlify is no changes at all. Why is that?

Hi @jhull,
