jasonnitta - The issue is in the updateEmail function. You don't need to add  /restapi/vc to the call, just make the rest call as 

 

 <#return (rest("/users/login/" + username + "/email/set/" + email))/>

 

I hope this helps.

Thank you VarunGrazitti for your suggestion. Fortunately I'm not getting the 500 error anymore. Unfortunately, the error has changed to:

 

<error code="501">
<message>Unknown path element at node 'user.email.set'.</message>
</error>

I got that after changing the function to use the "restadmind" context object. My modified code looks like this:

 

<#function updateEmail username email>
    <#return (restadmind("/users/login/" + username + "/email/set/" + email))/>
</#function>

<#attempt>
    ${updateEmail(username, email)}
  	Updated email to ${email}
    <#recover>There was an error updating email.
</#attempt>

Am I not supposed to put the email to change to after the /set/ ? Thanks for all your help!
