Several options
Use a Metadata record of type Attribute - you create it against the form that is being used in the Portal Management App. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/configure-basic-form-metadata
Populate it with JavaScript/JQuery
// populate lookup, assumes the user is logged in // and the script is in a Web Template or Web Page Content where the Liquid user object is available // I have freehand typed most of this so there could be some syntax issues etc $(document).ready(function() { var contactId = "{{ user.id }}"; var contactName = "{{ user.fullname }}"; $(“#yourfieldlogicalschemaname_name”).attr(“value”,contactName); $(“#yourfieldlogicalschemaname”).attr(“value”,contactId); // account instead of contact if populating with an account record $(“#yourfieldlogicalschemaname_entityname”).attr(“value”,”contact”); });
