I successfully created a webform using the Webform module.

Using Webform Rules I can create a new entity of type user and I fill the requested fields using, for example, [data:name-value-raw] for name, [data:surname-value-raw] for surname, etc...

This is very easy for text fields but I have troubles with text list fields, in my custom user fields I have two text-list fields (region list and country list), I set the same list in the webform.

In the Rules Action "Create a new entity" the Rules UI tells me to set a value for these fields but I'm forced to choose from a value in the list.

enter image description here

If I Switch to data selection I can't find submitted values, so how can I tell to the rule I am writing that the value of region field is the value coming from Webform data?

You can use a technique similar to what is described in my answer to "How to do a data comparison to submitted webform data when using the Rules module?". For short:

  • Add an extra Rules Action to Add a variable (call it whatever you want), with a value assigned to it equal to your [data:ComponentFieldName-value-raw] (with a data type which equals the data type of your Webform component), and with ComponentFieldName whatever you're using for that region field in your Webform).
  • In your subsequent Rules Actions you can refer to the value of this variable you just added (that's the clue!).

  • Thank you for your reply but if you read better my question I still use the webform fields to populate entity values, my problem is on list fields that I can't set with my custom default value...

  • The question is simple: how to set the value of "Region" that is a TEXT LIST, I repeat, a TEXT LIST field. I can set what I want to TEXT fields but not with TEXT LIST fileds.

  • Please, read everything I wrote, I don't need a loop to create a single entity user from a webform submission. I invite you to read WELL what I wrote...
