Autopopulating User list on record creation

[REByers]

I have a relate field that gives me a userlist drop down in the opportunities module.

I want to autofill this field with the name of the user who creates the record, when it is created.

I can't do this in workflow, as the field does not appear.

How can I do this?

Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Hello,

You can use Logic Hooks : http://www.sugarcrm.com/wiki/index.p...le=Logic_Hooks

hi,

do you try to repair opportunity modules in admin?
or turn on the developer mode and go to workflow to setup again?

If the field does not appear, you have to code it in logic hook method as metion by MatR

You can create a custom controller at the Opportunities module and implement the method action_editview.
Inside this method you need the check if $this->bean->id is empty. If yes, so you can setup the dropdown value accordingly.

Kind regards
