{Me} equivalent for use in Script Function?

#1 · March 3, 2021, 12:45 pm

What is the syntax to get the current user's name in order to update a person column within a script function on a Nitro form?

Hi Bob,

Please use this line "_spPageContextInfo.userId" in script function to get the current logged in user. You can use this in Form Event Actions to set current logged in user in a person or group column. Please refer below sample script:

var userid= _spPageContextInfo.userId;
return userid;

Here's another {Me} question:

When configuring permissions for a custom action, is the following condition valid?

If logged in User In User/Group Group_Name

and if the below conditions are met:

AssignedTo equal {Me}

Hi Bob,

Yes, we can use {Me} placeholder for 'Assigned To' column in custom action conditions. Also, instead of configuring conditions, we can directly use logged in user in column settings in Custom Actions (see screenshot below).
