Sharing field values when sharing a family subscription

Hi guys I am looking to make the value of a field the same as the person who owns a shared subscription in this way. Lets say my name is Joe Bloggs and I share my subscription with Jenny Hurt. I want when Jenny accepts my subscription her surname to change to Bloggs and her maiden name becomes Hurt so she becomes Jenny Bloggs with maiden name Hurt. How can I achieve this?

That does not exist out of the box.

You would probably need to copy over the values of those fields with CB Auto Actions triggered by the CBSubs Family Plans triggers, which are listed here:

using familyplans_onBeforeAcceptSharedSub event, used to add custom behavior for when a shared subscription is accepted:

Is there a way I can register or create a user when I send the shared subscription. I am trying to shorten registration for users who are invited to share a subscription but are not yet registered on the system. The idea being the user is created with some values when the shared subscription invite is sent, they then use the accept link to login and accept the subscription and then some of the senders values are copied over to them after they accept.

No, there's no trigger for when a plan is shared to act on to register a user.

There's no functionality for that. There is little to no information to even register a user. All that is asked is their email address. It may or may not even be shared to a family member whom may or may not even have the same last name.

Ok thanks. Can I ask for a feature request for this. I understand it will take some time for you guys to implement it should you choose to, we won't be removing CB Subs anytime soon. The proposed feature would be to add the option to create the shared user if they do not exist. Then the share message would include the users credentials and the share link could allow the user to auto login. This would make the registration flow for a non user sharing a subscription a lot easier and it would help new communities get users. In our use case which is a community for a municipality it would help us leaps and bounds as the municipal staff and councillors would be able to create users by sharing their subscription and that would result in the whole community on boarding.

There are no plans to add such a feature, sorry. Again, there's no information to use to even create the user. It only asks for a email address. That isn't enough to register someone and registering someone without their consent is rude. Auto login from a link is also dangerous and we've no plans to ever support such a functionality.

What I can do is review adding more triggers to CBSubs Family Plans and if you choose to develop such a functionality that would be entirely up to you.
