Xavier, I think you are a bit mistaken.

It is not a good idea to put the value of the dealer field in
a form variable. Doing so would enable a user to change
the value by simply posting a form.

That's the reason why it is put in a scratch variable. Scratch
variables cannot be altered by users of the catalog/website.

And again, the value of the dealer field in the userdb will be
assigned automatically to the scratch variable dealer, when
a user logs in.




Best regards,

Ton
