References a single DataMiner user string string

Defines a DOM field that stores the name of a DataMiner user in the form of a string. The Name field of a DataMiner user is saved, while the Full Name field is used as the display value in a low-code app form. The GroupNames property can be used to define which groups the user should be part of. The validity and existence of the user is not checked server-side. However, when a value is displayed in the DOM low-code app form, it will be marked invalid when the user does not exist in the DMS or is not part of the defined groups.

Defining the FieldDescriptor

var descriptor = new UserFieldDescriptor
{
    ID = new FieldDescriptorID(Guid.NewGuid()),
    Name = "My user reference field",
    FieldType = typeof(string),
    GroupNames = { "NOC Operators" } // Optional
};

Adding a value for the FieldDescriptor

var instance = new DomInstance
{
    ID = new DomInstanceId(Guid.NewGuid()),
    DomDefinitionId = domDefinitionId
};

var userName = @"COMPANY\JohnDO";
instance.AddOrUpdateFieldValue(sectionDefinitionId, fieldDescriptorId, userName);
