How to switch Input text field to people-finder control

[alstresh]

There are component   that allow send repository document by email. 

It contains configuration with UI form desciption

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="emailDocumentsAction"> 
    <forms>
        <form>
            <field-visibility>
                <show id="to"/>
                <show id="bcc"/>
                <show id="from"/>
                <show id="subject"/>
                <show id="body"/>
                <show id="convert"/>
            </field-visibility>
            <appearance>
                <field id="to" label-id="jb_to"/>
                <field id="bcc" label-id="jb_bcc" mandatory="false"/>
                <field id="from" label-id="jb_from"/>
                <field id="subject" label-id="jb_subject"/>
                <field id="body" label-id="jb_body">
                    <control
                            template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textarea.ftl"/>
                </field>
                <field id="convert" label-id="jb_convert">
                    <control
                            template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/checkbox.ftl"/>
                </field>
            </appearance>
        </form>
    </forms>
</config>

So on  "To" and "Bcc" is just text input field. But I need for "people-finder" component due to use only existing user email  (like new rule for folder with "Send message" template).

I have found  /org/alfresco/components/people-finder/people-finder.get.html.ftl

That allow find user by input text but have no idea how to change  <field id="to" label-id="jb_to"/>  to people-finder.get.html.ftl  with filling "To" and "Bcc" from User email.

Have any idea how to implement it?

The people-finder.get.html.ftl is not a component that you can use inside a form. You should set the control template for those fields to the /org/alfresco/components/form/controls/authority.ftl to get an authority picker that is very close to a people finder. Unfortunately that control is not really compatible with a simple text field - it is intended to be used for an association field.

Thanks for response it is usefull. But authority.ftl allow select only one user for some reason. Is it possible config authority.ftl to select several user?

[afaust]

authority.ftl allows to select multiple users as well - the action field must be defined as allowing multiple values to enable this.

Could you please point where I can finde "action field"  ?

My config:

field-visibility>
    <show id="to"/>
</field-visibility>
<appearance>
    <field id="to" label-id="jb_to" action="">
        <control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/authority.ftl" >
            <control-param name="startLocation"></control-param>
            <control-param name="authorityType">ALL</control-param>
            <control-param name="deepSearch">true</control-param>
        </control>
    </field>
</appearance>
