Apologies if this is a dumb question. Are there videos on how to set up object variables? I am trying to update user profile in one go w/ an obj variable rather than updating each individual input field as separate variables like the below but I am having trouble figuring out the syntax. I think I am using proper JS notation here?

Thank you always for the help.

Hello, you forgot the “” in the key so it will be :

{  
“firstName”: “”,  
“lastName”: “”,  
“role”: 0  
}

so “firstName” instead of firstName

and also for a empty value write “” instead of “N/A”
