Hello,
Is there a way to auto-populate the current user's name on a people picker by designing the list form through SPD? i know i can do it in InfoPath Designer, but i found no way to do that in SPD..
I saw someone suggested the below javascript. I used a CEWP and inserted the code, but the current user name still didn't showed up on the people picker field. I changed the fieldName to the field name of the people picker, but still didn't worked.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('div.ms-inputuserfield').text($().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({fieldName: "Title",debug: false}));});
</script>

Try the following C# code
SPUser CurrentUser = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser; PickerEntity peEntity = new PickerEntity(); peEntity.Key = CurrentUser.LoginName; peEntity = peOwner.ValidateEntity(peEntity); peOwner.Entities.Add(peEntity);
where peOwner is my People Picker

Hi,
Did you add SPServices to your site and referenced it in your masterpage? Otherwise it will not work.
