Setting User information with Forms

Forms
1

Hello,

is this also possible in the public forms?

https://community.plumsail.com/t/set-current-user-as-requestor/7371
https://community.plumsail.com/t/populate-created-by-with-current-user/8935
https://community.plumsail.com/t/current-logged-in-user-details/11521

Because there are functions used which with "sp" and I wondered, if these are only usable in SharePoint Forms.

We wanted to retrieve, e.g. user mail or address, which are already available in the entra id or spo-profile of the users.

Thanks for the help,
Felix

Hi @felix,

It's possible in Public forms with an Account control. Retrieving the email address and name is trivial, while other fields will require a little more tinkering.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks @IliaLazarevskii for the quick reply.

I got mail and displayName to work pretty easily as you mentioned.

Could you give me more hints on how we can access custom attributes from the user profile.

I have already searched the forum and online for this. I couldn't really get it to work in the public forms - https://community.plumsail.com/t/user-profile-custom-properites/8472.

Which way would you recommend to get to the custom user attributes?

Thanks and all the best,
Felix

Hi @felix,

Try looking into the properties of fd.account: Form Manager — Plumsail Web Forms Documentation

You can check the list of properties like this:

console.log(Object.keys(fd.account));
