Hi @MichaelIlewicz  
Thank you a lot for your response. 🙂

Few month later I used this approach for making a userpicker

```auto
 - key: user-example-cf
      name: user example customfield type
      type: user
      validation:
        expression: value != null
        errorMessage: Please, select user

```

This wasn’t documented feature, but now it’s officially released (see [Extend Forge Custom Field Type types](https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/extend-forge-custom-field-type-types/52459) )
