[SOLVED] Action Action configuration help

So, for example, after registration, user is automatically assigned to the Joomla usergroup "agent-basic", then I also want "agent-basic" populated to the cb_usertype field.

You need 2 actions for this. Please see the below examples.

Type: Usergroup
Trigger: onAfterUserRegistration
Access: Everybody
Mode: Add Usergroup
Groups: agent-basic

Type: Field
Trigger: onAfterUserRegistration
Access: agent-basic
Field: cb_usertype
Operator: Set
Value: agent-basic

You don't really need the first action though if you intend on making everyone basic at time of registration as you can set the registration usergroup within Users > User Manager > Options. If you set everyone to basic by default then all you need is the below.

Type: Field
Trigger: onAfterUserRegistration
Access: Everybody
Field: cb_usertype
Operator: Set
Value: agent-basic

Hi, thanks for your patience with me. I followed your configuration directions. I used the second set only. Still is not working. After registration, the user is not assigned automatically to the ACL- they just go into the "Registered" bucket.

I took two screen shots, one of my auto action config, and one of the user manager to show you that they are not in agent-basic as the auto action "instructs".

In my first example you need to use two actions (a Usergroup and a Field action). The field action should be ordered directly below the usergroup action so it applies second as it's testing for the usergroup to exist, which it does not in your current case because you only configured the Field action. Please review my above reply carefully. The value you're setting the field to also doesn't appear valid, is it intentional that it's surrounded by brackets as it's not a valid substitution.
