Is this suited for github?

  • Yes, this is suited for github

To Reproduce

when creating a new organization with keepCurrentActiveOrganization flag to true, session is not updated with active Organization

values: {
name: string;
slug: string;
logo?: any;
}

const result = await authClient.organization.create({
...values,
keepCurrentActiveOrganization: true,
});

Current vs. Expected behavior

Expected session will be update with new organizationID, but its null,

// Proceed to create the organization
const result = await authClient.organization.create({
...values,
keepCurrentActiveOrganization: true,
});

  await authClient.organization.setActive({
    organizationId: result.data?.id,
  });

is working as expected.

Hi @Kalyankr! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the better-auth team.

The behavior you're seeing is actually intended: when you set keepCurrentActiveOrganization to true, Better Auth will keep the current active organization in the session and will NOT switch to the newly created one. If you want the new organization to become active, you should either omit the flag or set it to false. If you need to activate the new org after creation, calling organization.setActive with the new org's ID (as you did) is the correct workaround. The flag's semantics are a bit confusing and not well documented, but your experience matches the code's design—this isn't a bug in v1.2.12.
