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

    thanks @jon_chen , I sent you an email with the direct link to that screenshot and a better summary.


    Hi @skyehansen @chrisro9 Thanks for your patience with this. I have heard back from our technical documentation team - please see their comment below:

     

    The external lookup field is not supported on Document forms but it is supported now on User forms. Our team is updating the note in the referenced documentation to reflect this.
