By the way, my `Sync Mode` is still “Force”. Shouldn’t this setting alone be enough to let keycloak …

- call the external IDP again
- update the user data via my mappers `updateBrokeredUser`

… after each user login?!

My provider on github:

**If the update is only done, when the user does the login via this IDP:**  
I guess it would make sense to add another sync mode then. At least patreon is a great use case for that, it should be updated on login also if the account is only linked. The naming could get interesting. ‘Force’ already sounds like it should do it.
