Reactive not behaving like an Observable

I’m trying to connect a model parameter (which is therefore of type Reactive) through a function with a bunch of observables, like this:

map!(any, model.disable, bad_firstname, bad_lastname, bad_email, bad_password)

and I’m getting these errors:

ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching Observables.MapUpdater(::typeof(any), ::Reactive{Bool})
Closest candidates are:
  Observables.MapUpdater(::F, ::Observable{T}) where {F, T} at /home/yakir/.julia/packages/Observables/OFj0u/src/Observables.jl:367

Is this a known issue due to how Reactive is implemented, or am I doing something wrong here?

MWE

Temp env with just Stipple and Observables

I leave this open until we know, how the maintainers of Observables will deal with the PR.

@timholy explained in the issue above why our PR was not a good solution. So we stick with our workaround, which seems to be the correct implementation. (I had actually forgotten that i fixed this and just reinvented the workaround a second time …)
