The bottom two rows were already in my AirTable when I started. The row was added from my app.  
When I add from the app with the Add action (Default one) it will auto add the user email, great, but I can’t figure out how to get it to auto add the User Name as well without having the user have to select their own name from a Choice component, which is no going to work because I don’t want the users seeing the whole list of other users in the table

Add the appropriate User Profile component to your form. It will pass any values you want from the user profile through the form automatically.

Thank you, I tried that but I kept getting duplicate entries, I tried again today, with a fresh eye and it worked. I don’t fully understand when I add components and things are added as Columns and have been unable to find much in the help docs to explain it in detail
