Hi everyone! I either don’t understand how “people” field work, or it works wrong.
My doc is shared with one person, my coworker Lisa.
I have a “people” field named “Assignee” in “Tasks” table.
Lisa is assigned to a number of tasks (plenty of them, actually).
I also have a cross-doc table with members of a community I manage (need it to track payments, info, etc.). None of these cross-doc members is assigned to a task in my doc.
Assignee field doesn’t list Lisa, but lists other users from a cross-doc table instead.
What is even more absurd, Lisa is a member of the community, and is listed in the cross-doc table, but she is the only member that is not listed in the Assignee field.
I still can add Lisa via the “workspace members” table, but it requires extra click.
But as I’ve made an external form for task submission, I can only see users from the cross-doc table and don’t see Lisa or even me!
Same thing is happening with the people field in other tables.
UPD: As I’ve added Lisa and myself (!) using a “+👤” button, even though the doc was already shared with us, it helped with us being in the list of users, but we still have plenty of other users from cross doc. I don’t have an opportunity to edit this list somewhere else.
Can anyone please, please, please explain me, what I am doing wrong? It’s really annoying.
