    hi. will try to explain my problem.

    I use “ultimate member” plugin to get the registration of new users.
    then I use forminator to have some forms that the currently logged user can fill in. and there I have some fields and some areas that I want to be auto-filled.

    It’s a function in forminator that do this. but I can only get it to work with some of the fields. name, id and email.
    But I like to have the phone number, and also have the auto-fill option. but it doesn’t come up in the behavior auto-fill option.

    can’t see the phone number in the portal_users, but I can see the phone number in the portal_usermeta in the database.

    so is it a way I can get the phone number into this field that the user registered with, and also to have it unchangeable in that place? if they want to change it they have to go into their profile.

    Hi @lennings82,

    Trust you are doing good, and thank you for reaching out to us.

    Forminator does not have a built-in function that could help with this.

    Can you please confirm if you are looking forward to auto-fil the form the user-meta added by the “Ultimate Member” plugin?

    Kind Regards,
    Nebu John

    it would be something that i would like to have. that would be a nice feature to have.

    can send a picture of the one I use.. I’m pretty new to this, so maybe I’m doing something wrong.

    it exist a
    “Pre-populate
    You can pre-populate this field dynamically using the query parameter passed in your form URL. Enter the query parameter key to fetch its value from your form URL below.
    Query parameter (optional)”

    is that a way how i can fill a field from usermeta data?

    Hi @lennings82

    Thank you for response!

    You are using the “Autofill” option correctly but it only supports some of the data – the “standard” WP profile only.

    There’s an additional custom code that may help here. It’s been created mostly with ACF in mind but since it’s all about user-meta, I think it may help. You’ll find it here:

    https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/7915e5647920809a32af9bcc4b1e506a

    To apply it to your site simply:

    – create an empty file with a .php extension
    – copy and paste code into it
    – save the file and uploaded it (using FTP or similar way) to the “/wp-content/mu-plugins” folder of the site
    – if there’s no “mu-plugins” folder right in “wp-content”, just create an empty one first.

    It should let you map those additional user meta fields right from “Autofil” option right in form “Behavior” settings.

    Would you give it a try, please?

    Best regards,
    Adam
