How to pre-populate custom field in signup form for secure zone in Adobe Business Catalyst?

I have created a signup form for secure zone in Business Catalyst. I want to give user access to that form in order to update the fields. I have created the page and its working only problem is there is no way to pre-populate custom fields in the form. I talked to their support and research a lot but all in vain. This is very basic thing BC missing. Is there a hac开发者_Go百科k for it or some alternatives?

Just adding for anyone finding this that you can also populate fields that have been created and extended in the crm if they're stored against the customer record.

{module_customerfield,crmextformID,FieldID}

eg

{module_customerfield,7470,82256}

More info in the forums.

Good News Now Business Catalyst supports this feature for more information read: Allowing Customers to view and update CRM details

I have had this same issue and hopefully there will be someway they can fix this in the future. What I did for the time being is I used other tags that I was not using. IE module_workcity was not and won't be used by me so I then put that in a field that I needed the custom tag for. Here is a screen shot of what I am referring to. - http://screencast.com/t/b3pvuOcTi one thing to note here the screen name is different than username for this site.

Note: When the user signs up I have the person filling out a field for the "workcity" and just change the labeling.

Not sure if this is an option for you, and it can take some work but might help.

Hope this helps. - Another note BC related question you will get quicker answers on the forums there - http://businesscatalyst.com/support/forums
