ProForma Single/Multiple User Questions

[Tyler Cooper]

1. Is there a way to limit single user search? I've attempted to use the "Users with Browse Project Permission" but that is not filtering the options. I've checked that Members and Administrators are the only user roles with the Browse Project permission and I'm still seeing all users in the search option. 
2. Is there a way to link multiple users from a form as Watchers on the issue?

Hi Tyler - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

One way is to create a Group under User Management (you will need to be a Site Administrator to do this). 

Then create a custom field (single user picker field type) and link the custom field to the Group. 

Then the values for the custom field will only be from the Group.

Thanks, John! Will try that and report back.

Hi John, 

We looked to implement your suggestion, but unfortunately ProForma doesn't provide a User Search Type option to use the newly created group (screenshot attached). 

We have linked the single user question to the newly created custom field but that doesn't impact the single user search either. 

Your suggestion does work if we are creating a new issue using the Create button in Jira, but doesn't seem to apply to ProForma. 

Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Okay, thanks for the update. Have you opened a Bug/Feature Request for Atlassian to make that work in Forms? I would like to vote for that.  :-)
