Hi

i have a summary view where Im passing an interface with a parameter user type. That User type is being converted into Text through a process model. How do I pass that variable through the summary interface?

Thanks

    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?

    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)

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