Laravel - Blade View not updating user's database with no error

Question

I have a blade view, where an user has different cards with different values (range from one to seven).

I've put a .svg inside a clickable div, that sends the put request to my route with paramters, my route accepts the received data and pass it to my controller method. I get no server error or similar, but my value is not updating however.

"cards.blade.php"

<!-- Stored in resources/views/child.blade.php -->


@extends('layouts.app')


@section('title', 'Scrumpoker')



@section('content')

<div class="pull-right">

    <a href="{{ route('sessions.show', $currentRoom->id)}}" class="btn btn-light">Zurück</a>

</div>

<h3 align="center">Last updated: {{$currentRoom->updated_at->diffForHumans() ?? ''}}</h1>
    <h3 align="center">Room Number: {{$currentRoom->id}}</h1>

        @foreach ($currentUser as $user)
        <div align="left">
            <li>
                <!-- <h3><u>Userid</u> {{$user->id}}</h1> -->
                <h3><u>Username:</u> {{$user->name}}</h1>
                    <h3>{{$user->name}}'s estimation is: {{$user->userValue ?? ''}}</h1>
                        <h3>@if ($user->isAdmin === 1||$user->isAdmin !== null )
                            <strong>Scrummaster</strong>
                            @endif</h1>
                            <hr>

            </li>
        </div>
        @endforeach


                    <div class="centerDiv " onclick="document.forms['values'].submit();" style="cursor: pointer;">
                        <form action="{{route('sessions.values', $currentRoom->id)}}" name="values" method="post">
                            @csrf
                            @method('PUT')
                            <input type="number" value="1" name="userValue" hidden>
                            <img src="https://image.flaticon.com/icons/svg/188/188234.svg" height="50" width="50">
                        </form>
                    </div>

"web.php"

Route::put('values/{id?}', 'SessionController@updateValues')
    ->name('sessions.values')
    ->middleware('auth');

"SessionController@updateValues.php"

 public function updateValues($id, Request $request)

    {
        $currentUser = Auth::user();
        $currentRoom = Session::findOrFail($id);


        $currentUser->update([$request->userValue]);
        $currentRoom->touch();

        return redirect()->back()
            ->with('currentUser', $currentUser)

Answer 1

update() method was somehow not working, changed my SessionController@updateValues to:

 public function updateValues($id, Request $request)

    {
        $currentUser = Auth::user();
        $currentRoom = Session::findOrFail($id);
        $updatedValue = $request->userValue;
        $currentUser->userValue = $updatedValue;
        $currentUser->save();
        $currentRoom->touch();


        return redirect()->back()
            ->with('currentUser', $currentUser)
            ->with('currentRoom', $currentRoom);
    }

Now it does update my user specific values!
