Hello,

I'm trying to understand how to create a backend field in my newly created plugin that will dynamically list all users of the platform.

This said, my goal is to submit a notifications form to create a notification, and I will process that form at creation to fill another table named notification_recipients that contains the notification id, user_id, and some extra boolean fields (like archived, seen, etc).

I've read, searched, and came to understand I have to use relations, but didn't get any result since the relation I'm trying to set is only for selecting the users from a list. This means we have three tables : notifications, notification_recipients and the common users table.

Could you help me figure it out ? :)

Thank you very much !

Update : I added a Checkbox List named "users".

For now, I got it working by doing this in the Model used for the form:

use RainLab\User\Models\User;
...
public function getUsersOptions($value, $formData)
{
    $users = User::all();
    $mapped = $users->mapWithKeys(function ($item) {
        return [$item['id'] => $item['name']];
    });
    return $mapped;
}

It worked great and I'm getting all users with their ids.

I added "_" to make the field purgeable, so it doesn't get processed to the table.
