Issue with userOrGroup type

Hi everyone, just wondering why the string is not being typecasted to both user and group and being checked which one is valid since the type is userOrGroup?

Hello [mention:846c51eb1d4a4ad192d7a4190f5e8f0b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] 

What is your requirement? you are expecting either a group id or an user name as an input?

    The group has a number. You can extract that number using tointeger() function and then use it to cast it to the group. But like Kondru said, lets get clear with the requirement first.

    Appian does not know what to do with your input string and casts it into a user.

    Try this

      if(isusernametaken("xxxxx"),
    touser("xxxxxx"),
    togroup(404))
