I see, so means it's still working. As for your event field; is it actually a field? It can't be a calculated field like CB Query Field as such a field doesn't actually exist in the database. It's pulling values directly from database and pushing to VM database.

Keep in mind the VM action is just a bunch of database queries done for you, you can use a Query action to insert whatever you want into VMs database.

I've updated the ticket to include implementing better field value handling so calculated fields can be used too.

Yes, the 'upcoming event' is an option you have built into the same auto action sync [you can switch between First Name, Last Name, Upcoming Event, etc from the CB side], however I ended up messing around with some of the core event plugin files last night and came to the reality that I may just have to do my editing that way for now. I don't like messing with the core files or the default plugins, but I think for the purpose of getting my site online until I can really get in and learn how to create my own specialized CB plugin / bridge, this will have to work (on my test site). I agree that maybe I will also just wait to see what VM3 has to offer, then put my efforts to creating a data bridge / custom auto action plugin once it gets released.

The good news is I was able to add in some nice personal options to both the group module and group plugin pretty quickly. ( I still want to figure out how to split up the existing events from the create an event on the same page from one of my other posts, but will work on that too).

The support you have been giving has been top notch here. I don't know how you can manage to keep up with all of the forum posts and still know the entire program enough to respond in such a short time. There are so many variables it gives noobs like myself a headache trying to learn it all within a limited site build time, so your assistance doesn't go unappreciated! :cheer:

*Note that I have used other 'social network' software and they have very limited site admin moderation options and their support answer is always along the lines of 'not our problem'. CB may be overwhelming with options at first, but I find that overall it has been quite flexible for the things I need it to do.

You could try the below query in a Query action.
Code:
UPDATE `#__virtuemart_userinfos` SET `company` = '[cb_event]' WHERE `virtuemart_user_id` = '[user_id]'

The support you have been giving has been top notch here.

Glad I could be of some help! :)

That's very good to hear. If you'd like we're always welcome to reviews on JED. ;)
