If you added an EAV attribute for your customer, and you now need to set it in a piece of code, the following snippet will be helpfull for you.

Constructor:

protected $_customerSession;

protected $_customer;

protected $_customerFactory;

public function __construct(

Context $context,

\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer $customer,

\Magento\Customer\Model\ResourceModel\CustomerFactory $customerFactory,

) {

$this->_customer = $customer;

$this->_customerFactory = $customerFactory;

parent::__construct($context);

Code:

$customer = $this->_customer->load($customerId);

$customerData = $customer->getDataModel();

$customerData->setCustomAttribute('my-custom-field','This is the value');

$customer->updateData($customerData);

$customerResource = $this->_customerFactory->create();

$customerResource->saveAttribute($customer, 'my-custom-field');
