Populate UI page with User name field value

Shiva Kumar8 · ‎02-10-2022

Hi Community,

I'm using a UI page on user record, the UI page has a field called user name, when the UI page is opened I want to populate the username with the current user record name. any help in script.

Thanks in advance.

Please find the attached screen shot for reference

now it should work

we are sending userFullName from UI action; so update as this

<g:evaluate var="jvar_name" expression="RP.getWindowProperties().get('userFullName')" />

<p>full name ${jvar_name}</p>

Hi,

value is getting set but seems the name is not getting set

did you check what it shows when you click the i icon?

Did you check the user full name is passed correctly?

what came here
