User Name as a Variable

Post by Ineffable »

Is there a way to get the User Name as a variable? The User Name is in File > Options > Review > User > User Name (and Initials). I would like to add an Author variable to my Meta Tags set, but I can't obtain the User Name as a variable. Am I missing something or is there another way to get the user name programmatically? I am trying to make make meta data entry as automated as possible for my writers.

Do you use source control? If so you could create a User condition tag set and add it to your .gitignore so each author can maintain their own version of the set, which could then be used in meta tags.
