Write User name in a background field
L
Laura Borg
In QGIS it is possible to automatically write a User name as a hidden attribute. For QField Cloud it would also be nice if its automatically filled with the QFC username, so if two people working on the same project at the same time, you can see which change is made by whom without manually write the username.

Hey Laura, this is already possible - you can set a Local Variable in Qfield via the settings (Like @username_tablet = User1 ). You just need to have a field prepared in QGIS which auto-fills with @username_tablet then to achieve what you are asking for!

Lorenz Meyer and Laura Borg It is completely possible to automatically retrieve the username and email with @cloud_username and @cloud_useremail.
