Is it possible to use CB Auto Actions to automatically populate the username field during registration?
I only use email for authentication on my site. I currently hide the username field from registration and the user profile. Using this method CB automatically creates the username by populating the field with the users fullname. This is problematic because I may have more than one user with the name Jon Smith for instance.
Yes, use the after registration trigger and a field action to change the username to whatever you like (e.g. the users email address). It will initially be set to their fullname, but then immediately be changed. Since it'd immediately be changed there should never be a conflict. CB 2.0 will allow you to specify a username fallback field though making this much easier.

I setup an action based on CB Activity and selected onAfterUserRegistration as the trigger.
Should User be Automatic or Manual?
Do I use the Conditional operator as is REGEX?
Many thanks for your help.
Are there any known issues with upgrading from CB 1.9 to 2.0 with Joomla 2.5? I'm almost in production with my site and I'm hesitant to upgrade at this point.
