How to get user id?

How to get the current user ID in a ChronoForms form.

Overview

The user needs to capture the logged-in user's ID to store it with form data in the database.
Use a hidden field in the form and populate it with the user ID via custom PHP code in the form's Setup - on load action.

Answer

I was like this:

Hidden field with field name equal to the field

In Setup - on load: Custom code:

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$form->data['client_id'] = $user->id;
?>
