  • A: If you make this change, and if End User is set as the filter value for that actor field in the filter, the End User must be updated to the group so that the filters can return the expected results.
  • B: If you make this change, re-save the filter so that it can return the expected results.

If you specified a default value for the field, the default value is cleared when you change the display type. Reset the default value of the field.

If you set or change the display type of a field to Multi Valued User Selector, Multi Valued Group Selector, or Multi Valued User/Group Selector, update the reporting schema. For more information, see Updating the reporting schema.

You cannot change a Multi Valued User Selector, Multi Valued Group Selector, or Multi Valued User/Group Selector display type to a single actor display type.
