Appworks Platform: How do I use the Assignment Building Block
I'm trying to assign entities to users, who will "own them". I am using the Assignment Building Block. I can make it work by using a property to store the user name and typing it manually upon creation. But I want to be able to select a user from a dropdown list. I have tried changing my property to be an enumerated text, and using Dynamic enumeration. That led me to trying to figure out how to create a BPM that can get all user names and return them in the form that the enumerated text object requires. I found the webservice that gets all users, but I have no idea what format the enumerated text object requires, nor how to shove the output into that format. I really feel like there should be an easier way to do what I want.

@Jon Butterfield Is this still an issue? Currently, you can assign a user or orgUnit dynamically based on 2 properties. Where the first property is the type (like "user" or "organizational_unit") and the other property is the type instance (your real user/orgUnit)
Have a look at DynamicEnum tricks here where your second property can be filled by the dyn. enum.
Watch carefully what the real value of the user must be as. See an example of something I tried in this post (section "The Assignee ID"):

Honestly, we stopped using AppWorks back in October and implemented a purely Content Server version for now. Even with access to the lead developers in person at Vegas, I couldn't get the support I needed to use the API. Thank you for asking though.
