Remove specific user from multi user field

[anacst]

I have a field that is a multi-user selection that I'd like to restrict the usage. I'm trying to have an automation that would remove just this specific users that doesn't meet this criteria, is there a way how ? 

For instance, field "Interested Party" allows multiple users to be added and I'd like to have an automation to remove users that does not belong to a specific group.

I've setup an automation that is able to identify if someone in this field is not part of the group but I'm unable to remove just those specific people that are not in the group. Any ideas?

Hi @anacst 

You need to:

1. Read the current users in the field.

2. Save them in a variable.

3. Remove the user from the variable.

4. Edit the field and save the variable values in the field.

Use this as a guide to start

Good luck!

Hi Anacst,

Why not just clear the field, re-fetch the issue, and then update the field by copying the values from the group?
