RE: user picker saves as email

If its save target is a rule input with "text" value, then it will save the plaintext username of the selected Appian user (which is often an email, but certainly not always). If you want to save it as a User object, save the value instead into a rule input of type "User".

For what it's worth, most places in Appian that expect a User object will work perfectly well when passed a plaintext username, so you have some flexibility here, depending on the finer details of your planned implementation.
