Pulldata() to acquire user log in?

[TL2]

Can you use pulldata() to get the log in username for current user?

Hi Tucker,

To get the username of the current user, there are two methods:

• Have a question of type username in the survey 
• Use the property('username') function

[TL2]

Thanks James,

I am am attempting to auto populate 2 fields based on what user is logged in.  I should be able to do this using cascading select.

What I don't like about my method is although it provides the user with the radio button to select the one choice, it still makes them select the one choice.  It would be nice if, based on the username, two fields were populated automatically.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Tucker,

You can use the pulldata function on a non-select question with the username as a lookup value- that sounds like that might accomplish what you're wanting.
