Why can’t I “create a New Thing” in Type USER?
I have a field for User called “Series”. I have a dropdown box for Series. I want to be able to add to the things in the Series by using an input popup box.
For any other DataType, this is simple. In the workflow, just create a new thing. But the Create a New Thing dialogue box does not have “User” as a possible choice.
Why not?
What I am trying to replicate is on the Forum App:

but instead of a DATA TYPE Artist, I want a DATA TYPE User.
The reason why you can’t do this is because of the password. It’s not a usual field, requires hashing for security reasons, etc.
But we have an action for this. It’s called Create an account for someone else. That creates a user with a random password (for instance), that users will have to change on their first connection.
Is there somewhere I can read more about this? I’m trying to follow @georgeciobanu 's advice on how to work my site, but know nothing about the differences between User data and other data fields.
This covers a little bit at the end https://bubble.io/chapter/saving-and-displaying-things-1380579009351x795796172693371800
The main difference is that you create them with a different action, and that email is used for authentication, with a password. Beside this, it’s very similar.
To avoid a wield chase… Could this be the reason for this:
Could it be that those users where created manually in the database tab? (I received this project from another developer. So I don’t know how they were created.)
Seems to be the case when I create users directly. They are not searchable.
