Jetpack Form block: Ability to autocomplete email address of logged-in users

[Gustavo-Hilario]

What

Add the ability to pre-fill input fields on the Jetpack Form block with the logged-in user information, like their email address.

Why

The user on 6088200-zen have some forms that should be filled out by their site members. My understanding is they need to do that routinely, so having the option to pre-fill as many inputs as possible would be helpful.

How

I see this is already implemented in the "Subscribe" block. Maybe we could replicate the same to the Form block.

This may be a regression, as it used to work that way on WordPress.com simple (but not on WoA or self-hosted, see #694). Behaviour may be different for the contact form shortcode vs. the form block.

This issue has been marked as stale. This happened because:

• It has been inactive for the past 6 months.
• It hasn’t been labeled `[Pri] BLOCKER`, `[Pri] High`, `[Type] Feature Request`, `[Type] Enhancement`, `[Type] Janitorial`, `Good For Community`, `[Type] Good First Bug`, etc.

No further action is needed. But it's worth checking if this ticket has clear reproduction steps and it is still reproducible. Feel free to close this issue if you think it's not valid anymore — if you do, please add a brief explanation.

This behaviour can be triggered by using the add_filter( 'jetpack_auto_fill_logged_in_user', '__return_true' ); filter.

It would be great to document it.

cc: @simison Should we add it as a checkbox on the form settings or on the field level?
