Prefilling eForm Fields with Logged-In User Data
When a logged-in customer opens an order form, you can prefill the form from their profile instead of making them type the same data again.
Evolution CMS stores enough user data to make forms friendlier for authenticated visitors. In shop and account flows, the usual goal is to prefill eForm fields with profile data so repeat users do not need to retype everything on every request.
Classic PHx-style pattern
[*phx:input=`&_PHX_INTERNAL_&`:userinfo=`fullname`*]That was a common approach in older Shopkeeper and Personalize flows.
Modern recommendation
Whether you use PHx or a lighter helper, keep the prefill logic explicit and tied to authenticated user data only. That makes order forms more convenient without turning the form layer into parser spaghetti.
