Using Velocity Values with the Input Field

The input field provides access to velocity to capture logged-in users' information and adds this as the value for the field. We've limited the values you can obtain from velocity for security reasons. However, you can obtain velocity values using the following calls in the Velocity Value field:

• $user.name
• $user.fullName
• $user.email
