How to get properties of user when using "User Selector"

Chris Lo asked on September 9, 2014 02:41

In a document type I'm using the "User Selector" form control.

In my transformation I need to get properties of the user, like full name, email etc. Are there any built in transformation methods I can use or is this something more suited to a custom web part?

Thanks, Chris

You may be able to use a uniselector and set the classname to cms.user, then add under the advanced settings the multiple columns to bring in and create an xml grid to show the fields that you add.

I have done things similar to this in the past, just not with the user object. I think it should work though. I don't know if this would be the best way, but it may get you what you want.
