Use [Me] filter on Multi Line text

This post was most recently updated on October 26th, 2020

You may be storing username like User1; User2; User3; User4; User5 in Multiline text column. Along with this you are trying to create a view with “Admin User” “Contains” “[Me]” to show assigned items to login user. This won’t return you any result. Use of “[Me]” filter on Multiline text is not recommended filter criteria. “[Me]” can be applied only to People picker column.

How to fix this:

1. Convert your Multi line text column to Multi-People column.
2. Created an Admin view with “Admin User” “Equals” “[Me]” filter.

Happy Coding!
