Welcome to the #dominoforever Product Ideas Forum! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.

Using the dialog list is one option, but it is not as good as the type ahead and search you get with a "Authors" or "Readers" field.
Also it makes an application look old.
The "Authors" and "Readers" fields are using the Domino Directory to retrieve data, why can't us developers do the same against our own databases and views?
Just use the field type "dialog list" with "use formula for choices" option and formula like this:
@Unique(@DbColumn("":"NoCache";"";"(Lookup)";1))
