## Introduction

[Xporter for Jira](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/891368/xporter-export-issues-from-jira?tab=installation&hosting=datacenter) allows you to extract data from the **[User picker From Project Role](https://confluence.getxray.app/display/public/XPORTER/Formatting+Fields#FormattingFields-FormattingUserPickerFields)**[ custom field](https://confluence.getxray.app/display/public/XPORTER/Formatting+Fields#FormattingFields-FormattingUserPickerFields), which is used in the Issue Alternative Assignee plugin.

## Usage

### Definition

Let's say this **User Picker From Project Role** custom field is named "Single User Picker" and it's being used by the Alternative Assignee plugin.

The definition will be: `${Single User Picker}`

There's no other special configuration required. 

> ℹ️ We highly recommend always using the *fullname* and *emailaddress* functions with this custom field to get formatted data.

### Example

Below are ways to extract data from a User Picker From Project Role custom field, used by the Alternative Assignee plugin.

Imagine that you want to extract raw data from a custom field named "Single User Picker". Use: `${Single User Picker}`

You can also apply the *fullname* and/or *emailaddress* function to this (we highly recommend that you use this):

`${emailaddress:Single User Picker}` or `${fullname:Single User Picker}`

Below, in Figure 1, there is an example of a User Picker From Project Role custom field, used by the Alternative Assignee plugin.
