Hi all,

I’m creating a dropdown list which needs to show the users (currently 3) but it’s only showing one. I tried different things but doesn’t seem to work. For me it looks fine:

- Type of choice = User
- Choices source = Search of users (no constraints)
- Option caption = Current option’s name

Anyone that has faced similar issue or who has any clue?

Many thanks!

The default privacy rule for Users only allows Users to be accessed by themselves.

So update your Privacy rules accordingly.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Where can I find that? I’ve been checking the different tabs in the settings page. Thanks again.

Thanks that worked. So if I search for all users in the User table, I got all of them.

Now I’m trying to go a bit more complex and I’m back to a single element. I have a table that defines the Friendship between 2 users (user1 and user2). So to find the friends of a user I’m doing a search in the Friendship table returning a user’s list.

The search is as follows Search in Friendship table where user1 = current user and return user2 merged with search in Friendship table where user2 = current user and return user1.

In my head this should work, but somehow it doesn’t ☹ any clue?
