Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
In Nodestream contributors can be both people with and without a user account. For the ones that do have a user account it would be cool to have a way to keep the contributor node in sync with the user account so the user only has to update stuff like photo, bio, etc. in one place.
I am working on creating a rule or two to achieve this. Let me know if there is an easier way. :)

pontus_nilssonSeems like a nice feature! Works somewhat like the module Cross clone but for User <-> Node.

fabsor CreditAttribution: fabsor commentedThis should actually be possible now, because Cross clone supports entity references, and we moved everything over to entity references now. Definitely worth looking into!

lslinnet CreditAttribution: lslinnet commentedWouldn't it be smarter to "just" use the data directly from the user object when the contributor is an existing Drupal user?
Comment #5
naxoc CreditAttribution: naxoc commentedLars, you mean instead of the clone?
Comment #6
lslinnet CreditAttribution: lslinnet commentedYes basically what I was thinking, it doesn't make much sense to keep data updated 2 places.
