Do you have any instructions or steps on how to auto fill a users Name and email into Form fields (Add them as a default value with read only.

You mean, so when a user registers to your site, he/she cannot set an own User Name and Email?
That is not really helpful, as the users will then never be able to receive any Email for example with a password, or reset instructions.

However you could set the User Name to be generated, that's a feature in Toolset Form.
For this, you'd need to check the "Auto-generate Username" checkbox when editing the user form, as seen in the screenshot

If you also want to set a value for the Email you can simply hide that field with for example CSS (display none), and preset a value using the Toolset Forms editor, which allows you to set a value for the email field.
But as said, you will have issues with this, also because WordPress simply won't allow many users with the same email.
I'd not suggest this on a user form.

Apologies, I meant for any post form, where a user already has a user account.

To auto fill there Name and email address.

Well, in that case, there are no User Name and User Email Fields - as those are Post Forms and simply do not feature such fields.
However, if you refer to Post Fields, like email or a single line, then you can prefill them with the exact same method as described above.
It's the same for user fields or post fields, if you open the single field in the DnD Editor and check what options you can set, you will see you can add default values.

You could use Toolset ShortCodes in there, to display the current users' name or email, or use custom ShortCodes for it too (this will be necessary if Toolset ShortCodes show to have too many attributes and break the surrounding code in Forms).

Can I help you any further with this?

Thank you, that worked, just what we wanted.
