How can I add jira users as options similar to Assign to: to a cascading select list custom field?

[Kevin Segrist]

I want a single select list custom field with jira users as options.  But I'm not seeing anything on how to link those Jira maintained values to the list to use them as options

I'd use a "user picker" type of custom field.  The list of users is by default "everyone", but you can configure the field to dynamically show users from a role or group in their context settings.  You'll find the field works very similarly to assignee - the options in the list are considered user objects like assignees are, not just a name or login.

Thank you!

Do you know how to make it a drop-style menu, like the Assignee field?

You'd need to write a new custom field type that uses a different user selection box.
