Hi Guys,

Is it possible to create a field type “Relationship” with Users?

I have a field type “User” however i have over 5000 users and when i have to select the user from the dropdown its almost impossible to find! 🙁

Is it possible somehow have the search same as in the post types however for user?

Cheers!
Andre.

Hi @abocati

Currently, this is a limitation of ACF4, however in ACF5, the user field will contain a search box.

ACF5 beta will be out for public very soon, and it would be great if you could download it (most likely next week) and offer some feedback about the user field.

Thanks

Hmm – it’s been out for some time – -but there’s no search box? Would be great if it was like Relationship

+1.

A relationship field with only Users would be ideal.

Making the Users field more like the relationship field with a search box and a clean view of all selected users would be alright too.
