Solved current user in form

[sjur]

Anyone having a php I can paste into default window for a form element, that puts the username of the current user in the form field when the form is opened?

Use calc element and place this code:

$username = '{$my->username}';
return $username;

Thanks, but not quite. That would result in the field always showing the current user. I want it in lists to show the name of the user that entered the records.

I believe there is a calc option to only run on save.

There's a "user" element storing the user who created or (option) edited the record.

If it's only for new records (i.e. you want to store who created the record) you can also use a simple field element with Default {$my->id}

THANKS!! So simple I used Field element with default {$my->name}. Worked like a charm.
