Can the _id in my database have the same value as the _owner?

@aeroengineerz7 ahhh!!! Glad a video help you out!!

Alright — so let’s look at your code then. It’s just a matter of putting things in the right place so that the logic is correct.

You have a password on keypress, but then you also have a register button on click event but they are doing 2 different things and neither of them have the Owner ID saved into the database.

At the beginning of your code you have a redirect to a dynamic page with the user ID. This code will not work if you did not capture the user ID during the registration.

So lets add the missing logic to make sure our code captures the missing information and triggers things in the correct order. I added more notes on a few lines.

(Notice that I left out the password in the database insert, as this is not good practice to save user’s credentials. P.s. Sharing your entire code vs partial code helps the community understand the full picture when helping someone to troubleshoot.)

import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

let registration;

$w.onReady(function () {

 if (wixUsers.currentUser.loggedIn) {
        wixLocation.to(`/member/my-profile/${wixUsers.currentUser.id}`); //Change the URL ending to the page you want to redirect the user if they are already logged in
    } else {
        console.log("User was not logged in when they arrived here.")
    }

    $w("#password").onKeyPress((event) => {
 let key = event.key;
        $w('#errorMessage').hide();
        $w('#emailExists').hide();

            console.log("Pressed Enter key on Password field"); //You can change the text of this line or delete it

 if ($w("#email").valid && $w("#password").valid && $w("#firstName").valid && $w("#lastName").valid) {
