I read the post and do not like the native way. I would suggest the api call. You'll need the users email so could just have a field on the form. You'll need to implement the IOL technique if you have already. Feel free to contact me if you need coding help. Chuck@chuck.support

Goofus employs the IOL, BOL and SW techniques with QuickBase to achieve the impossible.
Gallant uses only native QuickBase features and waits for proper releases.- Trying to be Gallant, forced into Goofus because priorities. Lol

- Hi Chuck. I've implemented the IOL technique, but I'm struggling to do the rest. In a form, when a user dropdown changes, I want to run API_GetUserInfo for the user chosen in the dropdown and then populate a field of the form with the user's userID. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
- What would you use the ID# for, out of interest?
- I have an app in which I've added @mycompany.com as a user - granting all registered users of my firm basic access to the app, which includes access to a profile table. Users can create a profile for themselves and in so doing identify the role the user should have in the app.
Once the form is populated, a formula URL field button will appear. The button will use the API_AddUsertoRole call.
So to answer your question, I want to use the userID within the API_AddUserToRole call.
Make sense? Happy to discuss! I'm eager for any assistance.
