Auto-fill User - Edit

#1 · June 18, 2025, 1:10 pm

I currently have 4 columns,

Traveler
Supervisor
Manager
Trip Type

depending on the trip type will depend on whether or not a manager will be populated. I am not sure how to force auto-fill event. If for example, the trip when first edited did not require a manager, but now they change the trip type and it now does and I want to populate the manager based on the supervisor column. it seems like this only fires when there is a change to the user. Is there away around this? Thanks

Hi Archie,

Could you share the column types for all the above columns?

Traveler, Supervisor and Manager are all Person

The trip type is a choice .

Thanks for you help

Hi Archie,

You can use a form event action to automatically fill in the manager from the supervisor based on the selected ‘Trip Type’. Follow the steps below to set it up.

Open the NITRO Form settings page → Click on ‘Form event actions’ under Advanced on the left → Click on ‘New configuration’ → Configure the settings as shown in image 1
Under ‘New action’, click on Update form controls and configure the settings as shown in image 2
1. Click on ‘New mapping’, select the column as ‘Manager’, enter the value as $getspuserproperty([Supervisor|Supervisor],manager) as shown in image 3 and save it
Under ‘New action’, click on Update form controls and configure the settings as shown in image 4
1. Click on ‘New mapping’, select the column as ‘Manager’, enter the value as empty as shown in image 5 and save it
