Update auto-fill user info mappings on change

#1 · July 3, 2022, 10:49 pm

So if you have a people picker column and map some AD fields to other list text boxes all works fine.
However if you change the name of the original person (which was automatically populated as the logged on user) the mapped values do not update. Is there a way to get the form to go back to AD to fetch the mapped field values if the person field is changed to a different value?

For the update scenario, we need to configure additional auto-fill user information setting with 'Based on a user column' mode as shown below with same column mappings. Please refer app manual from https://www.crowcanyon.info/nitro/appmanual_v2/index.html?auto-fill-settings.html

Thanks, that is what I have reverted to but wondered if there was the option to use the current user (so it is auto populated) but give the end user the ability to override that name and enter a new one and then have the mappings re-map.
9/10 the current user will be the correct one but on occasion the person filling out the form may be doing it on someone else's behalf and so "current user" would need to be manually changed. In this scenario the mapped fields remain as they were and do not update when the user field is changed.
I have changed the form so that the user fills out the name manually and the mapped fields update then.

Hi Jay, the trick here is "additional". That is, you create two settings for Auto-Fill User Information. One for Based on Logged In User and one is Based on User column (in this case, Requester). You can have two Auto-fill settings for the same column.

Far too good! That works perfectly thanks!
