Why Can't I Display the Current User's Profile Username Dynamically?

[hcamurdan1]

I want to create a new user data type once the relevant inputs on the sign-up page, including the username field, have been filled. After signing up, the user is navigated to the profile page.

On the profile page, I can dynamically see how many friends the current user has, so I assume there is no issue with passing the current user’s profile data to the profile page. However, despite this, I am unable to display the current user’s username dynamically.

Explanation of the attached screenshots:

1. Sign-up button workflow
2. Sign-up page workflow (login page only logs the user in and navigates to the profile page)
3. Profile page design
4. Profile page preview

Only navigation happens with signup and log in buttons

Thanks for sharing screenshots, really helpful. Firstly I don’t think you’ll need Sign the User up and Log the user in. When Sign the User up is used in a front end workflow that Current User is now logged in as themselves.

Your issue could possible be because you aren’t saving the newly created profile into the Current User field, but you haven’t shown your Step 2 & 3 actions in detail so it is hard to tell.

So I’d suggest trying this (key part in bold):

Create a new Profile → Sign the User up (Set additional fields: Profile = Results of Step 1) → Go to Page Profile (Result of Step 1)

Have you assigned the Profile to the User correctly in step 2?

I think so.I can see user’s friend dynamically it means i assigned them correctly no?

I don’t know… where are the User’s friends stored?

Just share a screenshot of step 2 in your WF so we can see if you’ve done it correctly.

Is the ‘content type’ of your profile page set? Ex: user

In your step 3, “go to profile page” in the data to send, you can send the user you just created. (Result of step 2)

When creating a “profile” you are not filling the user field. So you created a userless “profile”.

Check you app data it will become clear.

Also why would you need a profile data type? Why not simply use “user”?

You need to set the ‘Profile’ field on the User when signing them up.
