I have a custom auth_user field that I could edit from admin (and I can verify that changes are actually written in the sqlite table) but every time I check the data from a view, the field value is always set to the initial default values, and not whatever's actually stored in the table. It's like the data is being retrieved from some cache I don't know about.
I'm stumped. Has anyone experienced anything similar? This is the first time I encountered this. What gives?
