  Are you able to access the admin panel? I've always just registered the first user through there

  I get redirected to the first user screen

  /admin/create-first-user

  where it fails to register the user - also happens on my local

  
  

  On my local - I registered the first user on 1.6.16 which worked - will try to downgrade

  The latest version is 1.16.22, you could try using that? Why would you downgrade? Also maybe a stupid question but do you have your Payload config defined? And do you have the config path environment variable set up?

  Ok, I have found the issue. The plugin for last modified by from

  https://payloadcms.com/docs/plugins/overview

  was also adding it to the users - probably causing the validation to fail. So I created the first user way ahead and didn't go though that flow after while adding features/plugins. Thanks for helping !

  
  

  
  

  So downgrading and upgrading didn't work but disabling my plugins made the error location obvious.
