Remove specific user from multi user field

Question

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?

Thanks for the clarification.

@John Funk I don't want every one in the group to be in the field but just some people that has been engaged in that JIRA

The problem is that from time to time, end-users are putting their names into this field when they shouldn't so was trying to find a way to remove them automatically but keeping other people in

Hi Anacst,

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