Dropdown List based on Users and Permission


Badge +2

Hi all,

I have a people control with "Current User" as a default value.

I also want to add a dropdown List with Users which can be chosen but the current User who is filling in the form should not be able to show up on that list.

How can I do that?

Thank you for your help.

what about to create a formatting rule that disables dropdown for current user?

Hi Marian,

Current User should be able to choose an employee but his name should not appear on that list.

Example: 4 Employees - John, Marie, Lisa and Andrew

If John is filling in the form he appears in the control "Current User".

If he chooses one of the employee above, he should be able to choose the other 3, his name should not show up. Same if another employee fills in the form.

ah, I see.

you could write a javascript code that would remove single choice option  (current user).

you haven't provided any detail on your environment, but note this will not work on nintex mobile nor on responsive forms.

much easier and supported approach would be let the user to select from full list and create a validation rule that would prevent form to submit if selected user  is equal to current user.
