Roundup should assist the adding of new users with some
Javascript code, e.g. using the given eMail address to
build the id (which would be done by roundup when
subscribing via mail) and guessing the real name. For
trackers which define firstname and lastname user
attributes, these can be fille, too.

Patch following!

Logged In: YES 
user_id=805804

Enter 'scrooge.mcduck@your.company.com' into the address
field (user.item.html), press the <TAB> key and see what
happens :-)

One could set the focus to the address input field via
Javascript, since this is the best entry point (paste an
email address and get smart defaults entered into some other
fields -- only if empty, of course).

Fields set to 'readonly' shouldn't get changed (untested) as
this is checked by the change_field() function.

The th_label macro and more_javascript slot (submitted
earlier) are needed.

Finally, I added a "reset" button for convenience (which is
localized by the browser)

I think the earlier patch Tobias references with th_label and
more_javascript is attached to: issue1539081

Closing. Looks like this as added in:

  leave the input field)
