Answer 1

You need to whitelist that parameter for devise.

Add this into your application_controller.rb

before_action :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?

...

protected

def configure_permitted_parameters
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:sign_up, keys: [:name])
  devise_parameter_sanitizer.permit(:account_update, keys: [:name])
end
