Hello Aicha,
Thank you for your reply, already i tried the given expression and thought some thing wrong with my expression. Please check the attached screen grab, move bottom and right side there you can find RED Letters. Form is not reading username and it shows blank.

It was worked well when we used text field by filling with username. You can find those records also in the given screen grab. Please let me know your suggestions.

Thank You
Venu Kommu

Hi,

my answer was a bit short. In the form view plugin you have to add a bit more.
Code:
"urlparams":{"hiddenusername":"[_username]"}

Have you enabled the field option as I told you?

Regards,
Aicha

Hi,

not in the field configuration but in the plugin string which you add to an article in order to display the form using the content plugin visforms form view.

Hi,

This is the plugin string i have placed in the article as you suggested. I don't think any thing wrong with plugin string. Please check it and let us know your suggestions.
Code:
{vfdataview}{"formid":"2","fieldlist":"displaycreated,6,34,35,36,37","fieldselect":{"20":"[_username]"},"displaycreated":"true","show_page_heading":"false"}{/vfdataview}


Thank You

displaycreated in "fieldlist" is wrong
correct
"fieldlist":"6,34,35,36,37"
displaycreated is a separate paramete which you have added correctly later.
