[Vtigercrm-developers] realated field's content of the Users module changes in a strange way

[Szabesz]

Hi,

To answer my own question, I've found this post:
https://forums.vtiger.com/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=44429

Is it still the case? Don't we have a proper UI type for users, just this limited UI type 52? Is version 6 going to have a new UI type for users?

thanx
Szabesz

So the user pop-up window lets me choose a user, but saving it sets up a different relationship and I can even click on the related item and it the link works, but of course I need to store a user in this field, not anything else "at random"...
