Username meta key not working

Hi @anish9947,

Thanks for reaching out!

Currently, we don’t have a smart tag to display the username as the default value of a field. I’ve made a note of the feature request and we’ll keep it on our radar to be reviewed as we plan out our roadmap for the future.

As a workaround, you could create a custom user meta field to load users’ username, as described in the documentation about the {user_meta} smart tag. With this, you should be able to use a smart tag like {user_meta key=”user_login”}.

Thanks!

Hi @anish9947,

We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

Thanks!

The issue is not resolved. Why did you marked it’s resolved?

Hi @anish9947,

Thanks for getting back to me and for the following up question.

As I informed you earlier, we don’t have a smart tag to display the username as the default value of a field at the moment. I’ve made a note of the feature request, and we’ll keep it on our radar to be reviewed as we plan out our roadmap for the future.

I apologize that we’re not able to provide the solution you need for now or an ETA if or when this feature will be available.

As a workaround, you can create a custom user meta field to load users’ username, as described in the documentation about the {user_meta} smart tag. With this, you should be able to use a smart tag like {user_meta key=”user_login”}.

Or, you can create a new smart tag for username by following our guide on how to create a custom smart tag.

These would be the solutions we have available right now.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with WPForms Lite.

Thanks!
