Auto-populating a Field

[MikePoore]

We are building a form using the User Picker Control Type and we want the field to auto-populate with the user's Dept and Company.  Now, we can only bring up the default values of Id, Unique Id, User Id, Full name and Email Address.  Is there a way to bring in the user's Department and Company information once the user is choosen?

Do you have a requirement to get in request form itself ? 

If No -> Get these values in workflow

If Yes -> 

1. Introduce a checkbox & text filed to show department & company
2. Introduce a javascript block and call findUser WS to get the user details once the check box is clicked 
3. Populate the values in department & company text fields

Hope these helps.

Just a comment for the 3rd option:

First create a findUsers type drop down with webservice field. Filter in user id from the user picker field and return the company/department value of that user.

You can optionally add this text into a text field as well.
