Why is "user type email confirmed" not accessible?

j.poolman · 2020-06-28T17:03:28.243Z

Why is it that the option “user type email confirmed” is not accessible in workflows and database?

I’d like to use that for the “create account for someone else” functionality.

The flow should be:

create account by admin
send reset password to user
add reset password by user
change user status “email confirmed” to yes.

Off course I can create my own field “email confirmed” but that’s a bit weird don’t you think? Schermafbeelding 2020-06-28 om 18.58.25

We want to add the “create an account for another user” flow to the project. We use the built in “email confirmed” field to require a user confirm their email before using the app. However, all of a sudden, the workflows are not allowing access to the app until those whose accounts have been created via this workflow validate their email.

I’d understand why bubble would maybe want to disallow setting the email confirmation field explicitly, but it seems like it should at least be set automatically when a password reset link is clicked.

@eve @emmanuel based on the below, is this a bug?

How does "Creating an account for someone else" work? Question

Using this action will create a user with the password that you defined. it’s very much like the sign up action, except that the user won’t be logged in after the action. You’ll be able to refer to this user in a subsequent action of the workflow if needed. To have such a user reset the password, you just need to send a reset password email. There isn’t really the option to have them validate their email, because if you send them a reset password email, you’ll know the email is validated…

I have created my own confirmation field. I’d like to show the admin of the application if invited users responded on their “reset password” email. “email confirmed” does not change after clicking on reset password in the email. So I left this value out of my workflows now.
