Hi there, I have started to experiment with using Zitadel as Writefreely’s auth provider.  
I have adjusted the `map_` values basing on [what they write in their claim documentation](https://zitadel.com/docs/apis/openidoauth/claims#standard-claims):

```auto
scope = openid
map_user_id = sub
map_username = preferred_username
map_display_name = given_name
map_email = email

```

The database looks like `map_user_id` is working and i don’t see any error on the logs ([only `map_user_id` appears to have a defined error in the code it looks like though](https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/blob/63eb682a6038b73a24fde7b2f67372b3966ac4a8/oauth_generic.go#L134)).  
However the other values are ignored and the user is prompted with an empty form after going through the auth routine.

Now i am wondering if i have used a wrong syntax or what might cause these values to be ignored?

What does your `oauth_users` table look like? What do you mean by “prompted with an empty form”? Can you share a screenshot of what you’re seeing?

For each user, this table shows a correct `remote_user_id`, the correct `generic` provider and the matching `client_id` of the application in Zitadel, as well as unique `userid`+`access_token`.

When you (or I) use this auth provider to signup, the form for username, name, email is not prefilled:

I was assuming that Writefreely is supposed to prefill these fields based on the related `map_` settings.
