pull custom field data into a custom form with a typeahead field

Question

Hi, hopefully this hasn't been answered recently, I searched but only found old questions that seem out of date.

I have a custom form that I am using a typeahead field to pull up some user information.

In my calculated fields, it seems to work perfectly if the field is native to workfront, but it says it is an invalid expression for custom fields.

So

{DE:IC Name}.{phoneNumber}

displays a phone number

but

{DE:IC Name}.{DE:Employee ID}

comes back as an invalid expression.

Any idea how I can display these custom user fields?

Sadly last i checked custom fields on typeahead objects are not supported - only native fields.

This is still an issue that you cannot pull custom fields from the typeahead object.  What's the point of a typeahead field if you can't pull in the data from that object?
