**Describe the bug:** Special Value (mail, ID, Name) from User Profile not working properly. Alreay read this article, that report similar bug but no solution describe… Thanks for your help! > [@Special value "User's email" isn't working](https://community.glideapps.com/t/special-value-users-email-isnt-working/12184): > > In my profile form, I have the special value “User’s email” which was working fine, but today it shows an error “another component is already writing to this column”. When the form is submitted, the email column is left blank. This messes up all the relations later because they are all based on email. Is this a bug? **Expected behavior:** - What should happen? Value Mail / ID from User Profile is the same everytime. **How to replicate:** - Create a new form: Add Special value mail ([john@doe.fr](mailto:john@doe.fr)) from User to add it in a Created by columns. Results in the Created by Columns: “[g.boudon@titan.co](mailto:g.boudon@titan.co)” - Setting / User & authentification : Informations (mail, name) not equal User info in Data. Random error. Working properly in some form: Client **Link to demo recording:** ---

I think something is off with how you’re setting up that form. If you want to record the email of the signed-in user, it should look like this. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/f/bf61ef7b183896f61841d739bcba30df41bc8100.png) Can you show us where you add that “Email” column from? You don’t even have [g.boudon@titan.co](mailto:g.boudon@titan.co) as an email in your user profiles table, it seems. ---

Thanks for your reply ThinhDinh, I just realized my stupid mistake. I cleaned all my Data to test my app but I didn’t change the “View as user” so I viewed the app as a delete user and show me old data that wasn’t in my Data User collection. Thanks ---
