As part of each form, I have an element called User ID. I want to populate the element with the logged in user's id, which is stored in a session. I opened the view-functions.php file and placed the following code after line 4831.</p> <p>//Custom Code to populate User ID element with value from user id session.</p> <p><code>if($form_id == 1 &#38;&#38; $element[$j]-&gt;id == 8)<br /> {<br /> $element[$j]-&gt;default_value = $_SESSION['jigowatt']['userid'];<br /> }<br /> </code></p> <p>When the form loads, the user id field is still empty. Please help.<br /> //End of Custom code </p>
