Hi Tammie,
Huh: that gun I holstered for Vic a couple of hours ago has a Silver Bullet in it, which I chambered a few weeks ago during an intriguing save-until-needed Proof Of Concept. Turns out today's the day:
using that super-awesome, thank-you-@Josh Hardman functionality,
Regards,
Doug

Wow, thanks Doug! Look forward to trying this out soon.
Will the User type ahead field allow selection/input of more than one Stakeholder or will I need to repeat the field multiple times on the custom form? Is there a max or best practice?

Ehm...my apologies folks: I was mistaken.
In my above Silver Bullet post, I incorrectly reported that the new typeahead could store more than a single entry in a given custom field (e.g. "Stakeholders"). Upon closer examination, only a single value can be entered at this time, and it is not stored as a GUID, but rather as an JSON object, which looks like this, when viewed through the API:
DE:Stakeholder: "{"objCode":"USER","name":"....Doug.... Den\u00A0Hoed","ID":"8aa64c9bdae12982be040007f01007de7"}",
Given that format, Workfront's calculation engine can neither inspect nor render the contents in a calculated parameter: although both {DE:Stakeholder} or Stakeholder are "acceptable" as formulas, their result is blank; and any attempts to use other keywords such as CONCAT (e.g. to perhaps append multiple such single entries into an "append-as-you-save" text box) register as invalid. I apologize for not researching this more thoroughly before posting, and in turn, getting some of your hopes up: @Pavlin Panayotov, @Tammie Bouchard, and @Erica Lorenzo in particular.
In penance, I am working on an alternative to solve this challenge of multiple Stakeholders (or Sponsors, etc.), and hope to update this thread with a solution soon: after I've thoroughly tested it.
Regards,
Doug

Hi folks,
@Pavlin Panayotov came up with a practical approach to solve this one, so I've parked my investigation for now, and until there's a data model change, instead invite you to adopt ‚his technique if you need this kind of 1:many Stakeholder relationship.
Regards,
Doug
