Hello
I have been using {user:name} to auto populate the Name field on my forms, once the user has logged in.
When I try to do the same trying to auto-fill from another table, like the Community Builder user table, ie. {cbuser:lastname} or {comprofiler:lastname} I can get any of them to work.
Please point me in the right direction to connect to and auto-fill from another table.
Many thanks!

Hello!
You'll need to establish a connection and retrieve the desired data to auto-fill form fields from another table, such as the Community Builder user table. Here are a few steps you can follow to achieve this:
1. Check the data structure: Make sure the table you want to fetch data from (e.g., Community Builder user table) has the necessary fields, such as "last name," in your case.
2. Establish a database connection: Determine the appropriate method to connect to the Community Builder user table. This might involve using database functions or APIs provided by the Community Builder extension.
3. Retrieve the data: Once the connection is established, you can use the appropriate queries or functions to fetch the desired information. For example, you may use SQL queries to select the "last name" from the Community Builder user table based on the logged-in user's ID or other identifying information.
4. Populate the form field: Once you have retrieved the desired data, you can populate the form field with the fetched value. Ensure that the field's name or ID matches the one you're targeting for auto-filling. Depending on your implementation, you can assign the retrieved value to the appropriate field using server-side scripting or JavaScript.
It's worth mentioning that the specific steps may vary depending on the platform, CMS, or extensions you're working with. It's recommended to consult the documentation or community forums of the Community Builder extension or your chosen platform for more specific guidance.
I hope this points you in the right direction! Feel free to ask if you have any further questions or need additional assistance.
