Tell us what you are trying to do?
We have a membership site for writers, and they use an existing CPT to publish info about their books. We are considering replacing existing membership plugin with Access. If we do that, is there a way to have some of the fields in the CPT (like name) be populated automatically with the user information?

And a second question, please: The site is built with Beaver Builder. It's been working with Toolset for years, but isn't on your recommended themes list. If the answer to question #1 above is yes, do you anticipate any issues?

TYIA.

What is the link to your site? hidden link

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

There is no such feature available to populate the fields with the user information but maybe you can use the save_post hook in order to assign the desired values to those fields.

Here is the Doc that shows information about how you can update the custom field value using the "save_post" hook.

Regarding using Beaver Builder, we have limited integration with Beaver Builder and here is the Doc:

There should be no issue if you try to update the custom field value using hooks like save_post tht runs when you add/update post in backend admin.
