2025 - Adding multiple user at once to form

Question

Hello Team,

I'm writing regarding a functionality change in the directory picker field that's significantly impacting our workflow efficiency.

In the previous version, we were able to paste a string containing multiple usernames into the directory picker field, and Adaxes would conveniently process all users simultaneously. However, in the current version (as shown in the attached screenshot), we're required to:

• Click the + button for each individual user
• Manually search for each user or paste usernames one by one

This change has substantially increased the time required to update groups, particularly those with large user lists, creating a bottleneck in our administrative processes. Could you please advise if:

• There's an alternative method to input multiple users at once in the current version?
• There are plans to restore this bulk user input functionality in an upcoming update?

This feature is critical for our team's efficiency when managing large group memberships.

Thank you for your consideration.

Hello,

In the previous version, we were able to paste a script containing multiple usernames

What exactly do you mean by script here? Could you, please, provide an example?

Sorry, should be String.

A string containing multiple email addresses or usernames

Hello,

We were not able to reproduce the behavior you are describing in Adaxes 2023.2. Please, provide an example of the string and the steps you perform to paste it in Adaxes with screenshots. You can post the screenshots here or email them at support@adaxes.com.

Morning,

It looks like the behavior depends on how the form is created.

We used the following approach:

Custom command Object type: user Parameters:

Form settings

With this setup, we get the form as mentioned in the first post with a + icon to add new members.

I then removed the parameters completely and changed the object selection to this with the same criteria as the parameter:

When running the action again, I now have a slightly different starting point to enter usernames and can also input a string with multiple usernames which get properly resolved.

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion, but we cannot comment on that without an example of the entry string. We can only specify that the settings are not related to each other. In one case you select parameter values and in the other you select the objects to execute the custom command on.
