Hello, everyone.
I’m defining a new custom document type for my project that, among other things, requires an associated User reference field.
Having checked the available field types in the right margin as I edit this document type within the CMS > Content perspective, I am unable to locate a field type whose purpose is to reference a User (i.e. say, a user picker field).
One thought that crossed my mind is to use a String primitive field in which to store the User.username. But I worry this is not a sound approach. (For example, someone could go into the cms/console and change the username for a user, as it’s the name of a node under “/hippo:configuration/hippo:users”. The references from existing document instances would then point to a non-existing user.) Regardless of that, I imagine there must be a convenient/proper way to add a User field to a document type.
Might anyone know a manner in which to implement a User reference as described here? Your help would be very much appreciated!
Many thanks beforehand,
Nick
