Most of our users register for events regularly (typically every month or two). We always require that the members be signed in prior to registration. There are a series of questions that are asked as part of each registration that do not vary from month to month.
Users have asked if there is a way to save/prefill their responses across event registrations for questions/question groups that are repeated across events. Is there a way to do that? For example, we have a radio button selection that asks their occupation, and they’d like it to auto-fill from month to month rather than having to select it over and over again each time.
I also noticed that we ask for the city and state (as part of the built-in contact fields). These fields are populated in the user’s contact record in Event Espresso, but do not prefill into the appropriate Address Information question fields when a user registers for an event. The name and email address do properly populate. Any ideas why this information doesn’t pre-fill automatically? It’s clearly being saved as part of the user’s record.
Thanks!

Hi there,
I can’t speak to the “whys” but I can share with you some “hows” that show how to make it so those responses get auto-populated the next time they register for an event.
For address fields:
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-wp-user/mn_wp_user_addon_save_custom_answers_too.php
For other questions (not address fields) :
https://github.com/eventespresso/ee-code-snippet-library/blob/master/addons/eea-wp-user/jf_filter_address_answer_for_wpuser.php
You can add both of the above snippets to a functions plugin, then activate the plugin.

Thanks Josh! That appears to do what we needed.
