Auto fill field document type

Hello,
I'm pretty new to KenticoCMS.
KenticoCMS will be the program that i'll have to use making a customerportal in my last year of college.

I am trying to make a contributionlist with the option; if you add a new document that has a field named "user" is auto fills this field with te username currently login in.

I see the option in the Site Manager Documents->Fields->User selector butt i can't see the value in it.

Hope somebody can help me out.

Greetings

RE:Auto fill field document type

Hello,

This is possible by adding a context macro as the default value for the document type field under Site Manager > Development > Document Types > [edit]YourDocType > Fields.

This is the default macro to get the current username:

{%CurrentUser.UserName%}

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
Sandro

How to create categories in Document Libary's ? Thank you so far for your help. Best Regards, wessel

Would this approach work for you? Best Regards, Sandro
