Question

I have a rails app which is already running with some users, users that I cannot delete.

Now I have added a couple of columns to the user table(like last name, nickname).

The problem is that although new sign ups can change there profile information the existing ones cannot change them.

Any help?

Answer 1

I did a stupid mistake because of which it was not updating the entries in the profile.

I added new columns few of which were mandatory at the time of signup but were not mandatory when updating the profile (eg:- Date of Birth) as we thought no one would like to change their date of birth 🙂

So when the existing user were trying to update their profile the date of birth field was getting failed at the backend because of the validation which we had applied.

Figured it out by checking the console.
