The requirement is to allow users to select a resource (Creative Manager) from a list of existing users

in the Workfront application. The appropriate solution is to use a Typeahead field with the User

object type.

Field type - Typeahead: This field allows users to start typing the name of an individual, and the

system will auto-suggest matching users from the Workfront database. This is ideal for scenarios

where you need to assign a specific role, like a Creative Manager, from a list of existing users.

Object type - User: By using the User object type, the field will link directly to Workfront's user

directory, ensuring that the selection is limited to valid, active resources in the system.

This combination of field and object type is the most efficient for assigning roles based on existing

users, as it prevents errors and ensures data consistency by utilizing Workfront’s internal user

directory.

Options B and C are not suitable because a calculated field is not required, and checkboxes do not

allow selection from a list of user names.

For further reference, consult the Custom Fields and Typeahead Fields sections in Workfront’s

documentation, which outline how to configure these fields to enable user selection from the

organization’s resource pool.
