Object Reference Attribute displays (Unassignable) instead of an user picker

[FS_9776388]

I am using Windchill PDMLink Release 11.1 and Datecode with CPS M020-CPS11

I was following this guide https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS216763 to create a user picker with a local object reference attribute.

First I added a column via AddColumns utility.
Then I created a new subtype of wt.doc.WTDocument called Fabians_Document.
Inside this subtype I created a local attribute of type Object Reference called Co-Author.

The attribute was set up like this:
Other side attribute: name
Other side class: wt.org.WTUser

Now, when I create a new document of this subtype the attribute Co-Author just says: (Unassignable)
However, I expected to have a user picker there.

Hello,

I'm facing the same issue, however to get a user picker you can create an IBA / global attribute or local attribute on the document and follow this article
