Variable picker information pulled into Authorisation Node Details

[Joy]

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can assist as I am attempting to pull through the full employee name into authorisation details section. This works as we want when the field appears on the intelligent capture form. However we have an internal control on the BPM for some instances where we would need to pick from a capture task field in a human task. With the latter scenario the name displays as first initial, surname instead of the full name (see below). For both pathways I am using &[global["flowcoderefs"]["getReqInformation"]["customFieldT"]] via the variable picker.

Is there any way for us to pull through the full name for both?

How we want it to display:

How it currently displays:

Settings in the capture task field

Where fields are used in the Human Task to pull info from the database, such as the User Picker, Dynamic Fields, Group Picker etc. it can only currently return "Value" (ie. the Username) not "Display Value" (ie. the user's Display Name).

Myself and others have requested in the past to include the ability to return Display Value as well as Values in Human Tasks, but I'm not sure if it's on Hornbill's roadmap or not, so just in case it hasn't made it's way there yet, I would like to do another +1.

Yes. However if one needs other user data, e.g. full name, one can make use of this node:

 

Put value returned by the task in the user ID param. Then have another node to update that custom T (or the custom field that you use) with the values returned by this node, e.g. display name, first name last name, etc.

Or that as @Victor said 

However, if we are using Simple Lists as our source data then this isn't so simple...

@samwoo if your simple list contains any values that can be used in the "Get User Details" such as user ID, login ID or employee ID then you can make use of this node.

Thanks very much @Victor @samwoo, will try this
