Hello SharePointers,

Let’s say you have a  people picker control in a SharePoint List and you want to auto populate with the Current user who is logged into the SharePoint Environment.

You need to add the below piece of code (Jquery) into NewForm.aspx of the SharePoint list where People picker control is present.

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>
$(document).ready(function() {
var currentuserName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: “RequestorName”
});
$(“textarea[title=’People Picker’]”).val(currentuserName);
$(“div[title=’People Picker’]”).text(currentuserName);
});
</script>
