Description

When updating a user information in the user management API, in the field otherInfo, if the values are JSON but are not string (int, null, object), the API will accept the update.

But when opening the user management page, there is a text Waiting for server response, and there is a notification error, and some network requests in the browser network tools are aborted.

This is due to specifically decoding strings in the otherInfo field in the Elm app, and it seems to fail silently, without an explicit decoding error.

We should be able at least to display the custom information in the user management UI, even if the format of values is not supported for edit (we don't know yet how to edit ints, and JSON objects).

Workaround is to update the user information data with string values.
