 In [changeset:"12768" 12768]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="12768"
 Declare `$get_data = false` when calling `xprofile_get_field()`.

 The default value of `$get_data` is `true`, which means that when calling
 `xprofile_get_field()` with no explicit `$user_id`, but with a logged-in
 user,
 `BP_XProfile_Field::populate()` will attempt to fetch the user's data.
 This
 is usually neither intended nor needed, and results in unnecessary
 database
 overhead.

 See #8378.
