Best way to Inject Foundry User IDs in OSDK Action Type

[joshOntologize]

Hi all,

I’ve installed and followed all the steps for the Getting Started with Ontology SDK (OSDK) - Build a To Do application tutorial on Build with AIP.

Per the installed Action Type for creating a new Task object + upon testing it from the actual deployed To-Do app, I can see that the Created By property automatically pulls my user’s Foundry ID as a result of authentication.

I noticed though that one of the optional parameters is for the Assigned To property of the relevant Object Type. On the Action Type config within OMA, I can update its constraint to be a User to get a dropdown from the UI of an Action Form anywhere on the platform, ensuring only a valid User ID gets selected.

However, since I’m writing the code externally, I’m having difficulty figuring out how to pull the list of registered users so that I can assign a newly-created Task to a Foundry user at time of creation while selecting a valid Foundry User ID.

Right now, I’m assigning the relevant code an arbitrary static value (“Arbitrary Foundry User ID”) and I do see that value get logged in the materialization.

Any ideas/documentation I can read up on would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

There is an endpoint to list the users or search for particular ones. You could use it to pre-populate your dropdown.

include "@osdk/foundry": "latest", in your packge.json and look for
import { getCurrent, profilePictureUser } from "@osdk/foundry.admin/User";
