Description

Rationale / Begründung

For external providers, even after providing external_id in the defaults, the values are not displayed in the fields.

Affected

Users

Minimal functionality

Based on the external_id the field should display the values as default. This also means mapped fields should be auto filled with default values fetched from the provider.
