So, I'm pretty new using Descope (building my first app with it) and I have a question I couldn't find an answer yet:
on my Descope User's I added 3 Custom Attributes related to their licenses, I'm wondering how can I update those values?
I'm assuming I would need to hit an API that would make use of the Descope SDK, but I couldnt figured it out yet.

Hi. Assuming you want to update the user from your backend - you can use the management SDK.

07/10/2023, 6:55 PMso, I was checking the docs and I was able to update it.
However I'm wondering if there's any better approach to update more than one customAttribute at once?
I found the following ways:

07/10/2023, 6:56 PMI would like to do something like
await await descopeClient.management._user_._update_(loginId, {attributeIwishToUpdate1: val1, attributeIwishToUpdate2: val2}phone displayName roles ...stocky-tent-41776
07/10/2023, 6:56 PMand also I would rather make just one call than having to do 2+ calling
descopeClient.management.user.updateCustomAttributes

07/10/2023, 8:04 PMDid you look at the
.user.updates

07/10/2023, 8:04 PMyep, but there's one issue with that one
stocky-tent-41776
07/10/2023, 8:04 PM Copy code
const user = await descopeClient.management.user.load('<mailto:leo@descope.com|leo@descope.com>');
const updt = await descopeClient.management.user.update(user.loginIds[0], user.email, user.phone, user.displayName, user.roleNames, user.tenants, {param1: 'PRO', param2: 1689018774081, param3: 'xxxxxx'})stocky-tent-41776
07/10/2023, 8:05 PMI need to:
1st load user info
2nd send all the parameters to the funciton in order to not rewrite it to 'undefined'
make sense?
stocky-tent-41776
07/10/2023, 8:06 PMit is possible in both ways, but I would rather make 3 calls using promise.All() than loading an unnecessary resource

07/10/2023, 8:28 PMYes, we understand the pain here, we will take it internally and see how we can expose “patch” option for that.
