    PaoloT good point ;)

     

    In that case, the error 100 might come from the settings name (name_first and not first_name)

    Instead of 

     

    var apiURL = '/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/current/user/profiles/name/first_name/set?restapi.response_format=json';

    Use

     

    var apiURL = '/restapi/vc/authentication/sessions/current/user/profiles/name/name_first/set?restapi.response_format=json';

     

    Also, I believe it's worth checking if the following call:

     

    https://<your_community_url>/restapi/vc/users/self/profiles

     return a value for name_first as this example: 

     

    <profile name="name_first" type="string">Olivier</profile>

     

     Which I don't think it does on your community micha80 (I will reach out to you by email)

Hi micha80 

 

can you share the actual REST call generated by that code? (Should be available in Chrome developer tools or equivalent)

Maybe val is not in the right format?

 

Thanks,

    Hi micha80 

     

    I cannot see any obvious reason for an error. I suggest to raise this as a support case to get it investigated.

     

    Kind Regards,

      micha80 in order to set a value, you need to use the 'value' parameter:

       

      https://<your_community_url>/restapi/vc/users/self/profiles/name/name_first/set?value=oli

      And just in case, please HTML encode your URL. 

       

      We will get our documentation updated as soon as we can.

        Olivier, I think the parameter is being already passed via jQuery 's data element in the $.ajax call.
