Hi friends,

I'd like to retrieve the account login name of a user instead of his/her real name.
I managed it to retrieve the user object, but then I'm stuck I don't know how to get to the login attribute,
which doesn't seem to exist in this class...

Any ideas how to retrieve the login name from there?

    {def $user=fetch('content', 'object', hash( 'object_id', $owner.id ) )}

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried looking in the data_map ???

$user.data_map.user_account.content.login

Hi André,

Works like a charm! Thanks a lot! I had looked into the data_map through attribute('show') but was missing the .content. in my formula.

Thanks a lot,
