How to add value on custom field using rule action

Question

I am new to Drupal. Trying to get it work with Rules module.

I have added new field (decimal type) to user: field_user_custom which I can see in DB as user__field_user_custom as a table.

I want to add value to this table on each article update.

I have setup rule as this:

1. Create a Reaction rule

2. React on Event: "After updating content"

3. Action:

   a. Type: set data

   b. Data Value: @user.current_user_context:current_user:field_user_custom

   c. Value: 888

However, on article update, this value is not updated. I have tested if the rule is applied with having System Msg and it throws the msg but doesn't update the user field.

I doubt my Data Value is not correct. Which is why I have tried with this:

• user:field_user_custom

but this didn't help either. What am I missing?

Answer 1

You were close. It's actually @user.current_user_context:current_user.field_user_custom, per "Set a data value"?.
