I added an email column to Users data. Now I want to update it. So I let the user update the email address. But they may not want to update the password.
How do I use the Service call to omit password if it is blank in modify settings?
Or, if I just leave it off the rest service, can I add the password attribute to the REST call with Javascript if the user wants to change it?
Parameters that are not present in the request will not be updated.
yes, but if I map password from an input field, and it is blank, it is sent blank. So it is sent to the database as "".
I want to have the parameter omitted.
But I think I will create another service just to set the password and only invoke it if the password is set.
I think if the parameter is there..it will get updated. It's easy to test.
The two services approach worked: One for all user parameters except password, and one for password.
William,
Glad you have it working!
