UserId from jwt token or form data?

[earnest comet]

I have endpoint to create new tag item, and each item has userId that creates it. My question is should I send userId in body on client or can I use userId from jwt token that I send along with request? Which way is more common?

if (solved) {
   await markAsSolution();
} else {
   throw new Error("What's missing to solve your question?")?
