Hello, I am using Joomla custom field, I have added a field called Company and well, I want that field to be read by a Company field that I have in a v7 form.
You need to use a Read Data action and reference the correct field in the Joomla custom fields table #__fields_values, you can find the field_id in the custom fields manager or the joomla #__fields table
I already set the read data action and set the #__fields table, but then I don't know how to call it to complete it for the user who is currently in session. I attach my form
I need a screenshot of your #__fields and #__fields_values tables values, just some part of it, if you can not post this here then you may send me a message using the contact page
Hello Max, I just sent you the message, as you tell me, check it when you can. I will be very grateful to you
AMax, still waiting for the response, just as I told you, I sent you the message through the contact on the page😶
this is how I made your Save Data:
then you need to use {var:read_data50.Model50.value} where you want to get the value
Using v8 would have been better
I put it in, but the data that should be shown is not displayed.
did you check the debug results ?
Hello Maxi, Here is the screenshot
but I want you to read it in this field
your Read Data action is on the same page of the "Text" field ? it should be!
And does your form URL or any other action set the value of the field "EMPRESA" in another way ? because that would overwrite the value
Hello Max.
Yes, the read data action is on the same page, here I attach the video, maybe I am making a mistake
Please add to the field label the var string: {var:read_data50.Model50.value}, does it work there ?
Excuse my ignorance Max... but I don't understand :(
use that shortcode in your field label to find if it will return the value there or not
Sorry max, But isn't that what I'm doing in the video? :/
Well, I have tried, but perhaps I am a little ignorant and I am not entering something correctly. Anyway, a few days ago I sent you the link and the accesses, maybe if you have time, you can check it yourself :/. Good morning friend and thank you for the great effort you make to help all the users of this forum, I appreciate it very much.
please try to place the shortcode inside this box:
does it show anything on the frontend ?
No, it doesn't show anything, but actually I need it to show the value of the EMPRESA field of the user who is currently logged in

we did not pay attention to the name of the action, it should be read_data_50, it should match the debug, so this should work: {var:read_data_50.Model50.value}
It matches the debugging, but I can't get it to read it in the text field... no matter how much I do what you tell me :(
please try it in the label field, does it work ?
Also the latest v8.0.27 has a v7 import, you may try to import your form and check if this works there, you will still need to redo some configuration
