Supabase

hi, I customized the user table by adding a column, but using `supabase.auth.api.getUser('JWT')` returns all other values apart from the one I added, is this by design?

Ok you shouldn't modify that table at any cost as its inside of a managed schema (`auth, storage, extensions, realtime`), you should only add tables into the `public` schema or create your own schema

The reason for this is that the Supabase team can decide to make a change to these schemas for a new feature or security reasons and you would lose your changes.

To answer your initial question, yes its by design that the function call above only returns certain columns
