Windchill - Attribute for User

[hautschi]

Hello Community!

Is there a possibility to create a new Attribute, where I can pick a User?

Thanks in Advance!

Can you give us more detail?  What are you trying to do?

[hautschi]

I am Trying to create an Attribute where i can choose a User, which is available in Windchill.

It should mark the internal Responsible for the WT-Part.

The Attribute shouldn't be a simple String-Type, where the User name is written into.
There should be a selection like in the Advanced Search, when you look up for example for the Attribute Created By:

I am not 100% sure but I do not believe this can be done.

Anyone else know for sure?

There are a number of PTC CS Articles describing how to add this

Thank you! With this Article I was able to create the User Picker.

Only Problem I have now, is that the Attribute is mandatory for selection.

Any way I can change that Attribute to Optional? In the Type and Attribute Management there is no working way to change that...

What happen if you comment out line 78 in CustomUserPickerDataUtility.java?

After I commented out the Line 78 the Attribute was not choosable at all (see Picture).

Anyone got Ideas whats wrong with it?

Even with Line 78 the Data Utility doesnt work anymore.
