Controllers, Models, and updating select properties - laravel

Question

I've gone through quite a few tutorials, and I'm starting to get there with Laravel, however, one thing I've somehow missed in these tutorials/failed to spot, is how to accomplish "selective updating", apologies if that's the wrong wording, however this is my issue.
I have the user model, this contains multiple custom fields on top of the auth fields added by Laravel, the custom fields are:
ConsiderForAccommodation
Attending
I currently have a form in a view that allows the user to set choose whether they would like to be considered for accommodation, this works as follows:
User Model
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name', 'email', 'password', 'considerForAccommodation'
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password', 'remember_token',
];
}
User Controller
public function update(Request $request)
{
// Update the given user
$user = auth()->user();
// If the value is null then it's false.
$user->ConsiderForAccommodation = $request->input('ConsiderForAccommodation') != null;
$user->save();
return redirect('/accommodation');
}
Accommodation View (form)
#section('content')
<h1>Accomodation</h1>
<p>This is the accomodation page.</p>
{!! Form::open(['action' => ['UserController#update', Auth::id()], 'method' => 'POST']) !!}
<div class="form-group">
{{Form::label('ConsiderForAccommodation', 'Consider Me For Accommodation')}}
{{Form::checkbox('ConsiderForAccommodation', null, Auth::user()->ConsiderForAccommodation)}}
</div>
{!! Form::token() !!}
{{Form::hidden('_method', 'PUT')}}
{{Form::submit('Submit', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary'])}}
{!! Form::close() !!}
#endsection
Route
Route::get('/', 'PagesController#index');
Route::get('/accommodation', 'PagesController#accommodation');
Route::get('/registry', 'PagesController#registry');
Route::get('/rsvp', 'PagesController#rsvp');
Route::get('/schedule', 'PagesController#schedule');
Route::get('/travel', 'PagesController#travel');
Route::resource('user', 'UserController');
Auth::routes();
As I mentioned, this imlementation works as intended. Now, the issue is I have another seperate form (within a different view), that I would like to contain a form that only updates the "Attending" value against the model. How do I handle this in Laravel?
Do I have to create a seperate controller for each property I wish to update seperatly from the others, or am I looking at this wrong entirely and there's an easy way of doing it?
Any help would be appreciated.

There are many possibilities how to solve this problem. One of them is to create one route that also has a parameter
Route::put('/users/set-parameter/{param}', 'UserController#setParameter');
Then in controller you can set different parameters in single method:
public function setParameter(Request $request, string $param)
{
$user = auth()->user();
$user->{$param} = $request->input($param) != null;
$user->save();
return redirect('/accommodation');
}
Keep in mind that sometimes it is not the best way to handle that. There are pros and cons as almost always.
