Is it possible to populate the people control in a Nintex Automation Cloud form that is set to Authenticate users in this tenant with the authenticated person.
I note in Nintex Forms for O365, there is a way to do this with a rule as is shown in this video.
But I don’t see an option to set the value of a people control in the form rules. I only see:
Description
Placeholder
Read-only
Required
Title
Tooltip
Visible
Thank you.

Hi,
If the control is just defaulting to the user that is completing the form, does the control have to be a people picker? If not you could default a text control to [Context].[Current user].[Email] to show the logged in user. Note that this formula does not work in Preview mode. You will need to publish the workflow and test the form.

Although this video is not populating a People control - it might be a solution to what you are trying to achieve, ie: it shows how to default the logged in users name on the form:
Euan Gamble’s Nintex videos are excellent - shame he no longer works at Nintex.
