Relationship Lookup (Users)

    I have a pod which extends meta in posts with a relationship field to lookup a user.

    I’ve used this for a few years with no issues. However, today I have discovered that this lookup field is no longer loading users. As I type the name, a message appears in the dropdown list that “The results could not be loaded.”

    I’ve performed the following actions:

    Clear Pods Cache (no fix)
    Changed Related To to another object – everything loads
    Reverted Related To back to Users – (no fix)

    I’m running WP 4.9.12, Pods version 2.7.15

    I’m currently troubleshooting and created a new field – the autocomplete field now works with users.

    Interesting: in the original field I have limited the list to specific roles (which includes custom user roles). The checkboxes usually are on/off, but now there are three states of the checkbox – on/on/off

    I renamed the old field and gave the new field the name of the old field. Problem repeats itself.

    I’ve narrowed down the culprit of this issue.

    So, I’ve used this relationship field to query the Users. I want to select the user’s name in order to access their email address. Although I’ve not changed this pod or its configuration since I created it in late 2017, in order for the names to start appearing again I had to remove {@email} from the Display Field in Selection List. I really need the email though.

    I hope this makes sense.

    Hello @seannorton
    Just tested this locally real quick and based on my findings {@email} is wrong. This should be {@user_email} based on the actual user properties from WordPress. Honestly I have no idea why this worked in earlier versions but it shouldn’t have worked from what I know.
