Confiforms: Apply filter to a user field

its moi

Is it possible to have a filter on a user field so that only certain users can be selected from the complete user data? If so, how? 

I have a form with a user field where I just want to have a few users to be selected from the complete pool (8,000 users). I can think of some work arounds like using a dropdown with these users and then setting the selected user in a separate user field, but maybe it is easier with using rules for field definitions and applying a filter on my user field, but I do not get this to work. 

Any hint appreciated Thanks

Hi

Sorry, you cannot apply the filter on the field that really has no registered options.

User fields are lookups to user directory and the field itself does not have any options/choices you can filter on

 

The easiest way would be to create a dropdown of users, where the ID of the dropdown choice is a user name. This way you really dont need to copy anything anywhere, as you can always transform a username to user object (via "asUser" virtual function) and access any user's object properties if and when necessary
