Around the time we upgrade from 7.9 to 7.10 we've noticed a small issue which one of review forms did not show the requester name field (field type: User). We haven't made any changes to the process/form. Also know noticed that the requester shows up on the portal form but not in Tempo. Would anyone have an idea to why this is?

Can you share the expression you're using to display the requester?

is there any luck in trying to change the Requestor Field to User Picker and making it disabled so that i will show the value as a user. Hope this might work !!!

@carloss the expression to display is =tp!owner
@harshav it is already configured this way and no luck. Thank you for the suggestion.
I am planning to grab the user display name as text and display it as a text field.

Hi Colleeny, kindly see if the user is "active" in the system. if the user is deactivated in the system, then it might not pickup and show the user information correctly.

Hi Colleeny, if the users are deactivated it will not show up when you use picker field. Whereas as if you use user("abc","firstName") function you will still be able to fetch the user name on a text field. Hope this might add up to your approach.

@Colleeny, I tried tp!owner in a SAIL form which is configured on a User input task with a group assigment and tried with individual user assignment. It worked for me for both the scenarios.
Could you check tp!owner for a new SAIL form and see whether it works?
If it works for new form then you can remap the tp!owner in the SAIL form where the issue is..

Here is the code I tried with:
=a!formLayout(
label: "Test Form",
firstColumnContents: {
a!sectionLayout(
label: "Requestor",
firstColumnContents: {
a!textField(
label: "Name",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
value: tp!owner,
saveInto: {},
refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
validations: {}
)
}
)
},
buttons: a!buttonLayout(
primaryButtons: {
a!buttonWidgetSubmit(
label: "Submit",
style: "PRIMARY",
saveInto: {}
)
},
secondaryButtons: {
a!buttonWidgetSubmit(
label: "Cancel",
style: "NORMAL",
value: true,
saveInto: ri!cancel,
skipValidation: true
)
}
)
)

@sudharanid thanks for the suggestion! This was on a form using form designer (the form was configured before SAIL days). I haven't figured out the issue with the user field so I just converted it to text and display the name as text. Thanks everyone.
