Set a node field value to a user field's value

If the current user doesn't have the permission to edit the node, which is what happens when using such an action in an ECA model, then ECA prevents that from happening.

To resolve this, your model needs to switch the user before making those changes, see User: switch current account

Hi,

I've followed your guide and also on ECA Guide, but I'm getting the error that I cannot change UID when updating content.

Should it be after saving a new content, or use presave instead?

Setting the user id is different from what's been described in the issue originally. But still, that should work. Can you please create a simple model without any dependencies, which demonstrates that issue? If that's possible, please export and upload that model for review here to this issue, so that we can find out what's wrong.

Is this being fixed or do you need more support on it?

Hi,

Used the action switch current user, worked wonders! Thanks a lot for the heads up!

Regards,
Amal.

Thanks for your feedback. Marking as fixed, since that's what we need for issue credits.
