Super excited that 1.5 is now available for cloud!

Question.. how do I set an attribute to auto populate with the user ID?

Or what’s the easiest way to have that linked?

TL;DR
Developers are wondering about setting attributes to auto-populate with user IDs instead of passing them manually from a web app or other sources. One solution involves creating a function triggered by new user creation to automatically input data into the specified collection. Additionally, the new version 1.5 for cloud services is now available.

depends on how you're creating the document.

For example, I have a users/profiles collection and a function that triggers when a new user is created. Then, i take that data and create the document in users/profiles collection

Just generally I wondered if it could be set as a default value or a trigger rather than having to be passed through as a value from a web app for example
