How to programmatically set a checkbox value of an user account which field is not in /people/accounts/fields

Question

I need to set a checkbox which has an unknown field (machine) name in the user account. the checkboxes are in the user account /user/?/edit

but they doesn't appear as fields in people/accounts/fields and are provided by the
DANSE Content Moderation Module.

I need to update them through a twig template with a custom form controller which works fine, but i cannot find the right way to update the field. I've tried:

$checkarticle = $values->get('checkmailarticle'); //--> field from custom form
$user_load = User::load($userID_current);    
$user_load->danse_subscriptions_settings_content_node_article_0_update->value = $checkarticle;

but where to find the correct

$user_load->"this field name?"->value

Or is there another way to update the settings?

Answer 1

because the module stores the settings information in the userObject and not in fields you can use

$userData = \Drupal::service('user.data');
$userData->set('danse', $userID_current, 'content-node-"your content type machine name"-0-publish', 1);

for set the checkbox on, or

$userData->set('danse', $userID_current, 'content-node-"your content type machine name"-0-publish', 0);

for set it off

to find the right keys (third argument in the set function) you can log them in the service.php of the danse module
