They're detailed here: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Merge_Tags</a></p> <p>Here are a couple of them:<br /> {user:display_name}<br /> {user:first_name}<br /> {user:last_name}<br /> {user:email}<br /> {user:meta_key} </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/authenticating-users#post-161389 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 21:36:54 +0000 nickhas 161389@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We use BuddyPress and have the add-on for that. Works great for registrations. Now, we want some forms to be exclusively for users and I see the checkbox where I can make the form for logged in users only.</p> <p>However, I was wondering if Gravity Forms can recognize and pass the username of the individual so we don't have to ask for details like name and email every time they use the form. </p> <p>Do you have something you can point me to that would explain how this can be accomplished? </p>
