Hello,
I'm using @keycloak/keycloak-admin-client in my Node project to create users like this:

const createdUser = await this.kcAdminClient.users.create({
                username,
                firstName,
                lastName,
                email,
                enabled: true,
                emailVerified: true,
                credentials: [
                    {
                        type: 'password',
                        value: password,
                        temporary: false,
                    },
                ],
                requiredActions: [],
            });

The problem is that the user get created, but when I check the Admin Console and the user_entity table, I see that the firstName, lastName and email columns are empty, causing the user to be unable to login. I just the the username filled with the email I informed. Also, I can see all the props in the admin_event_table, column representation.

One more weird thing is if I try this just after the user creation, the fields are there:

const verifiedUser = await this.kcAdminClient.users.findOne({ id: createdUser.id });

I've tried it from Keycloak 25.0.5 to 26.2.4.

Do you guys know what I might be missing here?

Thanks in advance

Are you doing an update to the user after creation? See #28220

@shawkins that's it! I'm calling this.kcAdminClient.users.update later. When I don't, these fields are not cleared. I'll take a look in the suggested workarounds. Thank you very much for pointing this out!
