Displaying data in a form without a actualy UI query

[Milind W-2]

I want to create a screen that displays the logged in users data from the
person entity.
How do I get the person Id for the logged in user?
Where and when do I set the personId?
I tried to look at some of the contact profile screens but found those
hard to read and they seem to be based more on ftl which I understand is
no longer recommended for new stuff.
Thanks in Advance.

FTls have there place, still.
but try to put every thing in widgets.
look at the groovy files that prepare data for display
do a search for login in *.groovy
you will find many examples.

Is it possible to do what I want without any scripting/service and using
xml config on Screen Action or something else?

you can take the framework section and rebuild you own applications.
but you missing a lot of built ins that reduce a lot of work.
