Dear margiepineda,

You are trying to copy the User ID before it gets saved in the system, this is why your rule will not work. If your user ID is the same as the Personal External ID and this one is generated based on a sequence, then the below example rule can work.

The rule is set onSave to the compInfo portlet and checks what is the next available number from the personal external id sequence without consuming it, so it is the best that can be done for this case and I saw other customers using it already.

I hope this helps!

Thank you.

Best Regards,
