# Populate fields using user attributes

 * I know how to link a database record to user (using user name) and for the user
   to be able to edit the record. What I would like is if the user updates their
   user email, an email field within the database is automatically updated.
 * I have users complaining that they update their user email but their entry in
   the database remains unchanged. I explain why this is, but they would like for
   their user email to be the master.
 * Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 * We have an add-on that makes this possible. It is possible without the add-on
   if you are a WordPress developer, but if you can’t code it yourself, you should
   use the add-on.
