"Auto-Fill" Data Entry Fields From Saved Member Data

I have an event listing website and I am trying to get the ‘Event Creator’/ data fields to auto-fill the specific member’s data from previous event/data entries, from the collection it was originally saved into, if the Member ticks the assigned box for this function.

Your help is always greatly appreciated.

Hi Nelson,

It is rather difficult to understand the issue from the description. Can you share some code and provide more details to what exactly are you struggling with? Thanks!

Hi Nelson,

From what I understand, you already have a “Members” database with members’ information and you want to auto-fill these fields in your form.

You can link auto-fill inputs (e.g. name) from your Members database and add other user input fields. Then use setFieldValue function to submit auto-fill inputs to your database.

This website has an example on how to create an auto-fill form, https://www.vorbly.com/Vorbly-Code/WIX-CODE-AUTO-FILL-FORM-WITH-USER-INPUTS .

Good luck!

Hi! I have a related question. My website allows people to be members and write reviews. In the review form that they fill out, I do no have input forms for their names because they are members of the site…so it’s not necessary. My problem is this: when I “publish” their review elsewhere on the website, I can’t figure out how to include their name with the review. I don’t see a column in the database that has their name. Should I somehow be autofilling their name initially on the review form? And if so, how do I do that? Thanks!

is it possible to check if the data value that i want to auto fill is blank? and if it is blank do not auto fill? Currently i have members that may or may not fill out each input in a form.
