For NewForm.aspx one of the best way is to use "spservices.js":
don't forget to add reference of spservice.js after jquey: https://spservices.codeplex.com/releases/view/119578
script for Auto popultation is as under:
$(document).ready(function () {
var currentUser = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
webURL: _spPageContextInfo.webServerRelativeUrl,
});
setCurrentUser(currentUser);
});
function setCurrentUser(accountName) {
setTimeout(function () {
var userName = accountName;
var form = jQuery("table[class='ms-formtable']");
var userField = form.find("input[id$='ClientPeoplePicker_EditorInput']").get(1)
var peoplepicker = SPClientPeoplePicker.PickerObjectFromSubElement(userField)
peoplepicker.AddUserKeys(userName);
}, 300);
}

Make change in the code by replacing below line with corrected one var userField = form.find("input[id$='ClientPeoplePicker_EditorInput']").get(1) to var userField = form.find("input[id$='ClientPeoplePicker_EditorInput']").get(0) Apr 4, 2017 at 12:14

@RushilShah, please edit your answer instead add comments with code. Comments are temporary. Thank you. PS: if you have indeed edit your question with the code, please delete your own coments. Apr 4, 2017 at 14:31
No need for jQuery or SPServices (they were handy in SP2007/SP2010 days)
3 lines JavaScript:
var inp = document.querySelector("input[title='Assigned To']");
inp.value = _spPageContextInfo.userDisplayName;
SPClientPeoplePicker.SPClientPeoplePickerDict[inp.parentNode.id].AddUnresolvedUserFromEditor(true);
Suggestion from comments: 1 line of code:
SPClientPeoplePicker.SPClientPeoplePickerDict[document.querySelector("input[title='Assigned To']").parentNode.id].BatchAddUserKeysOperation([_spPageContextInfo.userDisplayName], 0);

Check the HTML source with F12 tools for the correct
title=notation, and execute the code after the form is loaded.. the setTimeOut in the other example is a crude way, but works. Best is to use the Cisar Chrome Extension WYSIWIG Javascript editor (use Google!) and add the code to the OnPostRender function Apr 4, 2017 at 12:31 -
Be warned .. That
OnPostRenderfunctions executes once for every Form Field So you need to add a check to only execute once Apr 4, 2017 at 12:36 -
@Danny'365CSI'Engelman Just a minimal improvement - no need for setting the input value
picker.BatchAddUserKeysOperation(['userDisplayNameOrLoginOrSearchString'], 0);also does the trick. sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/197270/…– Mx.Apr 4, 2017 at 13:57
Not sure about SP Designer, but using Infopath you can create a rule on form load to set a field to the current user.

1 Look for the Form load button (it's in the DATA tab in the ribbon.) 2 Make a new rule of type Action, add an action 'Set a fields value'. 3 In the popup menu pick the field. Click the fx button on the Value field, insert a function of category:User, then select UserName and click ok– JJDApr 4, 2017 at 10:29

have you try this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('div.ms-inputuserfield').text($().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({fieldName: "Title",debug: false}));
</script>
function getUser() {
var userid = _spPageContextInfo.userId;
var requestUri = "https://brillioonline.sharepoint.com/sites/ConnectDeveloperSite/AxisBilling/axisdev" + "/_api/web/getuserbyid(" + userid + ")";
var requestHeaders = { "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" };
$.ajax({
url: requestUri,
contentType: "application/json;odata=verbose",
headers: requestHeaders,
success: onSuccess,
error: onError
}); function onSuccess(data, request) {
var loginName = data.d.Title;
$("#UserID").append("UserID")
// $("#UserID").val(loginName )
} function onError(error) {
alert("Error on retrieving current user.");
}
}
getUser();
And then we need to append with field value
