User meta pre population in fields stopped working

  1. I have a form where I had been pre populating the fields for logged in users pulling data from the user meta table. it had been working just fine. Now, not so much. I'm just using these tags:

    {user:user_firstname}
    {user:user_lastname}

    etc. in the allow field to be populated dynamically parameters. Has something changed in how you implement this for it to stop working?

    THanks,

  8. You are using the default value option in the advanced tab of the field correct? If so, the "complex/advanced" fields don't support that (such as name/address). You have to use individual single line text inputs and use the default value on those to pre-populate with user-meta.
