Implement support for substitution user attribute to be a field
100%

Currently the user attribute in substitutions can be a user id, #me, #displayed, #displayedOrMe. Implement support for supplying a field name. Example as follows.
[cb:userfield field="avatar" user="cb_mentor" /]

This feature is interesting when used with a field that is not in the control of the regular users.
Thus the syntax should reflect that danger of getting a field from any user by changing the field from another user should be clearly understandable in the syntax:
But To me, the syntax looks like a username, and not like a field name.
A more explicit syntax, like this one, would imho be safer (open to other suggestions of course):
[cb:userfield field="avatar" user="#fromFIeld" useridfromuserfield="cb_mentor" /]

- Status changed from Resolved to Rejected
- Target version deleted (

Discussed internally that a better approach would be safe nesting of substitutions to give greater control and usability outside of just the user attribute. See #7828
