Retrieve LMS User Name as Variable

I know you can have a user fill in a text box with their name and then later use that variable for personalization. What we would like to do is programmatically retrieve the user name from the LMS....

    Hi Phil,

    Realizing that this post is 4 years old....I was unable to open your SL file as it was made with an older version. I am running Storyline 2 Update 11. Can you save and post with a later version?

    Thanks Rick

      Hi Rick

      when you try to open the file it should give you the option to upgrade to SL2 - do you not see that pop up box?

    Hello , and thanks for this, Phil, but it seems like the file may have been corrupted, as all I see is pages of code. Can you please send an updated version via email to gbitse@gmail.com. Many thanks for your help

    Hello Phil, I was using your method you provided here to retrieve name from an LMS. However, it doesn't work for me using Storyline 360. Does it only work in Storyline 2?
