Does anybody know if typeahead custom fields to be able to pick users are on the roadmap? Where would anyone be able to see if they are likely to be introduced?

    Thank you Victoria,

     

    I found it in the new form designer section. Whilst it only allows one selected user it will solve my problem for now, would be great in the future if multiple users could be selected in that box.

    Sounds like you're looking for a way to select multiple users, and I wonder if you've considered exploring external lookup fields to see if you could use them to get this working. (by the way I recommend using email addresses rather than user names if viable... this way if you pull up two John Smiths, you don't have to guess.)

    Hi Skye

     

    Thank you for this, this looks like it would solve the problem completely, do you happen to have an example of the base API URL that would get me to users and then the JSON Path?

     

    Thanks

    Hi Chris, thanks for the screenshot. This is helpful. I think perhaps the adobe writers may have miswrote it -- but I can coordinate with @jon_chen to find out (it's likely that what they may have meant is that you can't put an external lookup field on a user custom form, rather than not being able to use an external lookup field to search for a set of users). 

     

    (by the way, if anyone else happens to be listening in, they just unlocked the ability to have external lookups in company and user custom forms)


    Hello, 

     

    Thanks for looping me in. Has the above documentation already been corrected? I don't see the 'Note' section in the documentation referenced above.
