Update Custom Field

[nrep]

I'm creating an add-on where I need to update a custom field within my controller - is there a way to do with without manually running a MySQL query, as this wouldn't update the user cache at the same time?

Any guidance would be most appreciated .

The way to do it is already all there in the code. Think about someone being on the Account / Personal Details page and saving a value there. You will want to basically do exactly the same thing (albeit on a subset of fields, rather than an entire group of them).

Thanks, I've just been looking at how that page does it and then googled for "setCustomFields" and it looks like this may do it:

Looks good to me. That's pretty much what the code I was mentioning does

Thanks, I've just added it and it works .
