Hi Jason

Basically you want to populate the requested for as soon as the form loads

If yes there are 2 ways 

1.Default Value :You can use it by modifying the variable default value

2. In onload client script use

g_form.setValue('requested_for',g_user.userID);

Hi there ,

As pranav has given you two ways to populate the user details according to the user reference field you can try those they are correct .

or

if you want to set the current logged in user details in those variables then you can also set the default value of the variable.

eg. 

gs.getUser()

gs.getUser().getFirstName()

gs.getUser().getLastName()

gs.getUser().getEmail()

gs.getUser().getLocation()

gs.getUser().getDepartmentID()

gs.getUser().getManagerID()

just set these in the variable's default value it will get the current logged in user deatils.
