12/06/2022, 4:48 PMHey, I've saw that I can provide additional values when registering the user by providing more values to formFields array. Can I change them after user has been signed up? Also is it possible to let users change their email?

12/06/2022, 4:54 PMwhat do you mean change the form fields after their have signed up?
Also, yea, you can change their email. There is a function in the backend SDK for the recipe you called

12/06/2022, 4:54 PMif by changing form fields, you mean you want to change the values submitted by the user, then yes, you can.
You can override the sign up API to read and modify the values of that input before or after calling the original implementation

12/06/2022, 4:56 PMright yea. So we don't store the extra form fields anyway. You can store it yourself in your db or in the user metadata recipe - both of which allow you to change the stored info
