Cast userID to int

#1

hello there, I have a userID as string in a workflow and I want to cast it to string
I used this function int() but the id converted to some integer with + sign

what I want to achieve is that I have a user lookup function in the workflow
and I want to lookup for a user with the ID.
when I pass the string as an ID it prompts me an error

any suggestion would be welcomed

#2

IDs are represented as unsigned integers, not integers. Casting an unsigned integer (uint) to an integer produces unexpected results because an int can’t (always) represent a unit.

What error exactly are you getting? Passing the ID as a string should be ok (since web applications do that also)

#3

it seems I was passing the wrong field! … but good to know the IDs are Uint :slight_smile:
