I have noticed that {user:user_email}, {user:user_firstname}, and {user:user_lastname} are not pre-populating for logged in users while using Gravity forms 1.6.3.3.4. From reading other posts (ex: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dont-work-pre-populate-useruser_email-in-field-for-login-users), I understand there was a bug previously. Has the issue been fixed or do I need to request a separate fix?
Thank you.

Hi, cbrady,
Yes, this issue was fixed and was released in Gravity Forms version 1.6.3. The fix was necessary when WordPress v3.3 was released. Which version of WordPress do you currently have?
CB - how are you trying to populate/use these exactly. I just set a default value on a field in one of my forms for User Email and it populated fine. Can you provide some details about your setup, a link to your form, etc.

On my name field, I clicked on the "Advanced" tab. There, I clicked the "Allow field to be populated dynamically." I then entered "{user:user_firstname}" for first name and "{user:user_lastname}" for last name.
For my e-mail field, I followed a similar process.
The form itself is set to only be displayed to logged in users.
Dynamic population doesn't work that way, with the use of merge tags. I think in your case, you just need to place them in the Default Value option instead.
You will want to use regular input boxes instead of advanced fields and just label them to be Name, otherwise, you'll have to write some PHP code in your functions.php file to fill out those fields before the form renders.
