Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• I have some apps in nextcloud that set user values using setUserValue
• I would like to develop a new app that can check when certain such values are updated and develop some functionality on top of this

Describe the solution you'd like

• Fire the UserChangedEvent when setUserValue is called
• Perhaps use the $user->triggerChange() to fire this

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Patch the server code to fire this event

Additional context

• My understanding from checking the code and by logging locally is that this event is not fired. Please close this issue if it is indeed fired and there is something going wrong in my setup.

I wouldn't fire the same event, but I also can see it would be useful to be able to "subscribe" to those changes sometimes.

How does UserConfigChangedEvent sound? @nickvergessen

[nickvergessen]

either that or UserPreferenceChangedEvent

Could also go with …Set… because adding is not changing, but well doesn't matter as long as it's properly documented.

@nickvergessen Implemented UserConfigChangedEvent in a PR #42039 :)
