Hi @Lunyachek ! I'm looking at this now, and I wondered if there is a potential impact for UserProfile objects that have a Twitter account in their SocialLink model.

Is there further work required by each organization to update the model so the 'twitter' substring in the platform and social_link properties is switched to 'x'? Is that something that be handled in this PR?

Hey @jsnwesson.
Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve checked it locally on the Teak release — old records are stored without any issues. The problem only occurs if you try to re-save the record without modifying the value (i.e., still using "Twitter" instead of "X"). In that case, it raises a This value is invalid. error. So in this case, users can change it by themselves on the change profile.

@Lunyachek thanks for checking! To confirm then, learners with their old Twitter URL will still have their URL appear in that field in Account and Profile MFE, which if they decide to edit they'll need to use the https://www.x.com/ prefix going forward?

[arsentur]

@jsnwesson Yes, that's correct — the existing Twitter URLs will still appear in the Account and Profile MFE as they were. If learners choose to edit that field, they'll need to update it using the https://www.x.com/ prefix going forward.

[jsnwesson]

Thanks for confirming, and I realized that this PR only handles updates to the user's social media links so thank you for your patience. 😅

It looks like this PR already has 3 approvals, but @Lunyachek it requires a rebase. After that are we waiting for more reviews?

@Lunyachek can you rebase this PR so we can land it?
