Hello

I have created a set of user fields. Users can input data using a user form. The problem I have is that for new users the form is already populated with values from another user - the admin.

If you simply register at hidden link and after the registration view to the content template displaying the value of the fields at : hidden link you will see that the first fields are already populated with data (from a different user - the admin user) whilst they should be empty

The user form is here: hidden link

Hello,

How do you setup the Toolset user form? is it a editing user form or creating user form?
If you are going to edit the current logged in user, you need to setup a Toolset form for editing user, and insert the form shortcode with option "The current logged in user", see screenshot: user-form.JPG

If the problem still persists, in case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2017, and test again

Thank you

I have done as you instructed

1) The form was set up for editing the current logged in user - I double-checked
2) Switched the theme to 2017

The issue persists, please see the screenshot attached

Thanks for the details, in the problem page:
hidden link, please edit it, in the post content, there are two kinds of shortcodes:
1) Views shortcode [wpv-user], for example:
[wpv-user field="user_firstname"]
It should be able to display the current logged-in user's first name

2) Types shortcode, for example:
[types usermeta='my-service-2' user_is_author='true'][/types]
the attribute "user_is_author" will output the user field value of the post author, in your case, you need another attribute:
user_current='true'

For example:
[types usermeta='my-service-2' user_current='true'][/types]

More help:

click link "Repeater attributes, User attributes, Term attributes, Usage examples"
you will be able to see the example codes:
user meta shortcode:

[types usermeta='user-address' user_current='true'][/types]

Hope it is clear
