Macro as default value in BizForm

Alena Mikhalchanka asked on July 18, 2014 10:39

Hi, I used the macro {%CurrentUser.UserName#%}as default value in BizForm in Kentico 7. Now I try to do the same in Kentico 8. But it doesn't work in the case of BizForm. Can You help me to understand where is the problem?

Did you enter the macro through the macro editor? I have had problems when just pasting a macro into the field. I find that pasting the macro into the macro editing window usually works, but if you paste into the default value field, it won't work.

Maybe have to do some checking prior now? This works for me: {% if (CurrentUser.IsAuthenticated) { CurrentUser.UserName } else { "" } @%}

Hello Alena,

Joshua is right, you have to use the macro editor and insert macro there instead of inserting the macro directly into the default value field.

You can open the macro editor by clicking on the small arrow between the default value field and its label.

Best regards, Martin
