Hello Adalo team, I am really struggling with a simple update of the boolean field “aboard” in users table. The button “Passer” is supposed to launch this update but I keep getting the same standard error message during my tests, see below : Can you please help? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/adalo/original/3X/7/e/7ee4f20bfa0ff7ee233b8cb26ef4c657d972cb35.jpeg) ---

I am on the paid plan. To get the error, just launch the app, click “Consultation libre” then “OK” in the modal then click “Passer” ---

Okay, I found the issue : permissions in database, edit was disabled for that field. Now it works. Reference to Victor’s post : [Users record is not able to update](https://forum.adalo.com/t/users-record-is-not-able-to-update/20254) Thanks for your help guys ---

Hi @Sonic1, Sorry for the late reply! After watching the video, 1. For the Login form do you have conditional actions? Check this post by Victor : [My app is making me enter login details twice - #4 by Victor](https://forum.adalo.com/t/my-app-is-making-me-enter-login-details-twice/22237/4) 2. For the Action Cannot be completed issue you have update that true/false property permissions to Nobody? And then you have changed it to Record creator and working? Happy that you have found the Victor’s post and it’s solved your issue! Thank you ---
