Seems like there's a few other bugs with regards to updating user preferences.

1. If there's more than 1 preference in the console for a user, the all preferences except the first one can be deleted as expected.
2. If there's exactly 1 preference in the console for a user, that preference cannot be deleted as the Update button stays disabled.
3. If there's more than 1 preference in the console for a user, clicking the X icon for the first preference gets rid of all the preferences for that user (only in the UI), and the Update button stays disabled in this case as well.

I've tried attaching screen caps to demonstrate this.

P.S. GitHub video previews have always been weird for me. If it seems like nothing is happening in the videos, just scroll back to the start and it'll work.

Case 1

Even though I deleted them from bottom to top in this preview, it doesn't have to be done that way in this case.

I'd love to work on this issue and create a PR. Let me know if possible!

It seems like a really simple fix to be honest.

@Maettis thanks for raising this! 🙏🏼

@safwanyp this might have been fixed already, but let me double check with the team.

Update: There seems to be also the case for whitespaces. Using " " (spaces) for both key and value allows saving the preferences.

Not sure, why we can not update the preference via console... may be this might be related to this itself?

Preferences are typed internally, but using the console to change them converters them all to strings. Type-column in the table is needed, it's not a case of "if the comment get enough votes". This can break stuff!

Dangrous stuff:

• Booleans that you think you set to false is really set to "false" which is considered true in javascript
• Numbers that you think you set to 10 is really set to "10" which might crash some calculation
