Hi there, @mckenzie.aly… so, first, if you are not seeing user data you are expecting to see, this privacy rule could be getting in the way, so check it out.
Also, I don’t know if I understood everything you wrote, but it seems to me that things might be easier if your attendees field was a list of users instead of a list of email addresses. Is there a particular reason you didn’t link directly to the User data type?
Best…
Mike
