Hi,

What I'd like is to prepopulate a certain field of a node with a dynamic value.

e.g. I've added an 'author' field to the attachment builder and I'd like to have the current user's username prepopulated in the 'author' field when starting the editwizard for a new attachment. The user can then decide to clear this field and/or modify the field with another value.

I've looked at get-, set- and commitprocessors, but it seems that the getprocessor I've written only is fired on an existing attachment. I somehow can't get it to work to return the current username with a new attachment.

I've also looked putting this logic in the editwizard, but seems to me only _hardcoded_ values can be prepopulated in a field, instead of a variabele cloud.user.identifier or something. I also can't pass the username as a variabele since the attachment wizard is only called from within other wizards.

I'm using 1.8.4. Has someone developed a solution for this issue: either by get/setprocessors or editwizards themselves or something else?

Regards,
Ted
