User Picker Form Field Type
This feature introduces a User Picker form field type in the Ideation plugin with configurable visibility and edit permissions. The field can be restricted to editors only, and optionally made visible exclusively to editors, while remaining hidden from regular users. It allows editors to select one or more users (e.g. reviewers, sponsors, responsible contacts) as part of an idea’s metadata without exposing or allowing modification of this information by idea submitters. This ensures sensitive or workflow-related data can be managed separately from user-facing content.
- Enables controlled handling of sensitive or internal information within ideas
- Improves editor and governance workflows by separating internal metadata from user input
- Reduces accidental changes or misuse by restricting edit and visibility rights
- Supports structured review, ownership, and escalation scenarios in ideation processes
Target timelines are indicative and subject to change based on research and priorities.
