I can't seem to figure this out --
I am using 3.4.4.
Here's the situation >>
When the users register, they select which units (can be multiple) they belong to in our organization on the registration page.
These users then create 'articles' and I need to attach which unit that person belongs to onto the articles that they create. Why? So that if someone wants to search by unit they will see all the articles posted related to that unit.
Make any sense to you out there? Any hints would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks --
Joanie

OK -- I figured out that I can use the object relation datatype to link the article class to the folder where all of the users are stored. But, this provides a scrolling list of the users and I would like for it to automatically select the user that is entering the article.
Any ideas?

Well, I now know what I need to do, just not how to do it ---
I need to get the current user's id number and make the object relation attribute take that value.
Am I missing something obvious???
help please........

Can't believe I didn't run across that doc in all my searches. Exactly what I needed for the fetch. Halfway there, just need to figure out how to set that variable to the value now.
