Just a tip, this one would work perfectly for Sharepoint configured to do windows-based authentication. For Forms-based Authentication where the user is not part of your AD (as in my case), LOGON_USER would simply return an empty string. AUTH_USER should be used instead. Cheers Great solution.

I've never tried to use a custom field in a workflow. I really don't even know where to start. Sorry :-( Gavin Hi Dudi,

Whew… you’ve got me. I’ve never tried to use a custom field in a workflow. I really don’t even know where to start.

Sorry :-(

I have a question: I created a new custom field type in MOSS (the field inherate from SPFieldUser) - I created class library project and created fldtypes_classlibrrary.xml file I added the field to custom documents library list. In Sharepoint designer I want to use this field in sending email workflow. I have 2 option: 1. I open "Select Users" dialog box. Then I select "Define Workflow Lookup" dialog box. I select "Current Item" option - the new field didn't appear in the list. 2. In the email body I click on "Add Lookup to Body" and then I can select the new field. The problem that in the email that I received I have question marks (???? signs) instead of the user. None of the 2 options works. Please help. Hello,

I enjoyed reading your blog.
I have a question:
I created a new custom field type in MOSS (the field inherate from SPFieldUser) – I created class library project
and created fldtypes_classlibrrary.xml file
I added the field to custom documents library list.

In Sharepoint designer I want to use this field in sending email workflow.

I have 2 option:
1. I open “Select Users” dialog box. Then I select “Define Workflow Lookup”
dialog box. I select “Current Item” option – the new field didn’t appear in
the list.
2. In the email body I click on “Add Lookup to Body” and then I can
select the new field. The problem that in the email that I received I have
question marks (???? signs) instead of the user.

None of the 2 options works.
Please help.

Can't wait to try it! I just purchased Designer and other than making the page titles BOLD, I think I now have another (better) use for it!!
