You need to set up user Profiles in your app.

I set a sign in with email
Thank you Mark!!
Is there a way to push the user profile data while filling a new form automatically? Just the way the User-email ID can be captured as a special value. This would help a lot! Specifically incase of dynamic values in the user profile form
My use-case is where I want to capture the entry number which the user has done. In the user profiles, this number is a rollup field which counts his entries so it keeps increasing. I want to capture this number and push it while doing an entry.
Currently itās possible only if the open form button is on the user profile tab.
Hmā¦havenāt tested this. Rollups columns donāt display in a user profile template column?
What I meant to say is, can we have a special field just like userās email ID to capture other things from user profile on form submission. More special entry fields which includes data from user profile.
Right. My thought is if you create the column first using template > user profile column, then you could pass the value using the ācolumnsā feature. So, can you create a template column that inserts a Rollup column from the user profile sheet?
Yes right. But I can pass the ācolumnsā value only if I the form is on a tab which has the rollup column. If thereās another tab where I want to fill a form, I would probably have to create these rollup columns again in the data editor. Was thinking if Glide team could add the User profile fields as special entry components on form submission.
Not necessarily recreate, but insert, yes. If my form is on a ālistingsā tab. I can insert any user profile column into that tab using a template column. I havenāt tested a Rollup column. Is it available? If so, it would only be one additional column in your ālistingsā tab to pass the value automatically.
Though, yes, I see the appeal of having the convenience of having this info as a special value!

Yes I understand what you have shared. Let me try it with the rollup column and get back to you.
I think I should create a feature request for the special entry field.

Thanks @Mark, saw youāve released this, thought it wasnāt too far away! You guys rock 
I have a similar request indeed.
In my use case a user has a challenge ID in their profile.
On the challenge sheet they log their proces so Iād like user profile columns available as special value ones (just like the email address currently).
ā> Is that something similar to what you are referring too? @Manan_Mehta?
(btw lookup wonāt do it in the challenge post table, because the post belongs to the challenge, not to the challenge the user is currently in)
Iāve currently solved it with a Google Script,ā¦ but a Glide solution is always preferred over Scripting.

@Naos_Wilbrink couldnāt you create a template column with the userās ID in the challenge sheet and pass that template into the form as column value? Thatās what @Robert_Petitto mentioned above.
Iāve tried a few different things,ā¦
Doesnāt this mean though that when the user changes his / her challenge id in their profile this will change the value in the challenge sheet. And I need the value in the challenge sheet to not change when the user value changes.
ā> Maybe Iām not āgettingā something. Iāll give it a go.
Thanks @Jeff_Hager & @Robert_Petittoās video Insert User Data ANYWHERE in your App!
I see what you mean now,ā¦ So these value should then also be available in a form,ā¦ therefore it works. pretty neat.
THIS IS AMAZING A whole world just opened up.

Yes it will dynamically change based on the current user and their current ID.
Yes this is exactly what I meant. It can be done by some workarounds but it would be so much simpler if we could push user data on form submission!
