Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/711

Describe the bug
User should be able to unset name and/or image.

updateUser({
  image: null,
  name: null,
});

This throws a typescript error as it expects string | undefined but works when force invoked with null

name cannot be null, as it is a required field. but we should allow it for image.

Hello,

Very useful (thanks!), but there seems to be an issue. If we pass only the property image, the field is not updated to the DB. With Drizzle in my case.
If I add a second field, that works.

Example (work-around) :

updateUser({
  image: null,
  _nonce: Date.now(),
});
