User Field Type In Datahub
Hello,
We are setting up several Databases in Datahub. I was surprised that there wasn't a field type for User. I feel that having this field type here would allow you to easily attach users in specific roles to clients and other unique projects.
In theory, my vision for us as an agency would be to have a database that lists the website and which employee fills which role for the client. Then, in the automation, we could say that this task is assigned to this role for the client.
Having a user field would give us so many other options. I would love to hear what other ideas people have if this were implemented.
Thank you for the feedback, Tiffany, and for sharing your use case. 🤝
I can see how useful it would be to have a People or User type in Datahub. As a workaround, you can use a single select or multiple select field type and add the users in the options. Let me know if that's helpful. I also have forwarded your feedback to the product team. Thank you! 👍🏽

Basudha Sakshyarika Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately this still doesn't work the way that we need it. We've been working with the Wrike Integrate team and have been told "The reason why assignment and approvals can't be mirrored is that you cannot link the assignment field to datahub."
Previously we were told that we would be able to do this. Is it possible the person we are working with is wrong? We had thought with Wrike Integrate that by putting the User's name in DH for the positions and then saying for this task assign to the 'Accont Manager' for the 'URL.' would be possible.
But now we are being told that we need a separate blueprint for each project. If you or anyone else has suggestions it would be much appreciated as we need to get everything moved over into Wrike from our current system still.
Thank you for your time.
Hi Lisa,
