This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to set the value of a cred_field with the value of an email custom field in the current User's profile. When I use the Types usermeta shortcode, the value is not set correctly. If I place the same types usermeta shortcode outside the CRED field, I see the correct email address.
Solution: The Types usermeta shortcode will output a full HTML email address link, which won't work in a cred_field value attribute. Instead, you should use the wpv-user shortcode to output only the email address:
<div class="form-group"> <label>Contact Email</label> [cred_field field='eoi-contact-email' post='expression-interest' value="[wpv-user field='wpcf-contact-email-universal']" urlparam="" class='form-control' output='bootstrap'] </div>
