# default:user_* not working

 * I am trying to create a form where the fields are pre-populated if the user is
   logged in and a place holder text is used if not.
 * The default: option works if there is no value. When there is a value, it does
   not work. It worked when bootstrap for CF7 was disabled.

   please?

 * I have the code below.
    `[text* your-fname akismet:author placeholder default:
   user_first_name "First Name"]`
 * If a user is logged in, it should have a default value of the first name, and
   if not logged in, the placeholder First Name. But when I log in it still shows
   First Name instead of the user_first_name. When I disable the bootstrap for CF7
   it works.
