Description
Bug Description
If I manually add property to a user it appears, but after refreshing the page - it's not there. So it looks like it does not save.
How to reproduce
https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/issues/25015
Additional context
I reopen bug because the previous is closed. It's still active on production, on actual us.posthog.com we still can't save properties.
