Is the value you're supplying to your user picker component a valid username? Can you share your configuration of that field?

Im trying to get the value from the rule input in the main interface.

This is the error I get. Expression evaluation error [evaluation ID = ENMT7U06] in rule 'transaction_form_main_interface' : A user picker component [label=“Assigned Workchecker”] has an invalid value for “value”. All users must be valid and visible to the viewer. (APNX-1-4198-000)

For what it's worth, the User type casts to (and from) text using just the plaintext username. This means you can easily pass a text value into a user type input, and vice versa, when needed.

That said, I'm not really clear what you mean by "pass.. through the summary interface" -- where are you accessing the value from, and how? What have you tried and what are you seeing that you weren't expecting to see?
