Nintex form button setting field value

Can you explain a bit more about what you want to do?  User fills in some details then presses a button and some userprofile data populates?

Any screenshots or further explanation would be a help.

Hi Tim Roy‌

Add a single text field to your form and give it a client id JavaScript variable name of varUser.

Add a button to your form and give the Client click a value of GetUser()

Now in the form settings under custom JavaScript, paste the following code

function GetUser(){
    //get current user id
    var userid= _spPageContextInfo.userId;

    //query the user by id to get all properties
    var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getuserbyid(" + userid + ")";
  var requestHeaders = { "accept" : "application/json;odata=verbose" };
  $.ajax({
    url : requestUri,
    contentType : "application/json;odata=verbose",
    headers : requestHeaders,
    success : onSuccess,
    error : onError
  });

  function onSuccess(data, request){
      //get the user title property
    var loginName = data.d.Title;

    //set the field value
    NWF$(varUser).val(loginName);
  }

  function onError(error) {
    alert("error");
  }

}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

This will give the following result:

If you get any problems let me know

Hi Tim Roy‌

Did you set the client id JavaScript variable name on the text box and the client click setting on the button as the screenshots above?

varUser is set as the single line of text field client id JavaScript variable name.

Let me know how you get on

Hi ‌

Very odd, that is exactly how I set my form up. Can you post a screen shot of the custom javascript section of form settings? just to double check its right

Thanks

Hi Tim Roy‌

I am so sorry!! I'm an idiot, I sent you an old version I used before updating it to make it work!!

Use this version of the code and you should be fine:

function GetUser(){
    //get current user id
    var userid= _spPageContextInfo.userId;

    //query the user by id to get all properties
    var requestUri = _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + "/_api/web/getuserbyid(" + userid + ")";
  var requestHeaders = { "accept" : "application/json;odata=verbose" };
  NWF$.ajax({
    url : requestUri,
    contentType : "application/json;odata=verbose",
    headers : requestHeaders,
    success : onSuccess,
    error : onError
  });

  function onSuccess(data, request){
      //get the user title property
    var loginName = data.d.Title;

    //set the field value
    NWF$('#'+varUser).val(loginName);
  }

  function onError(error) {
    alert("error");
  }

}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Note this bit was wrong:

    //set the field value
    NWF$(varUser).val(loginName);

    //should be

    //set the field value
    NWF$('#'+varUser).val(loginName);
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Again apologies and I hope it works this time!!!
