Bug description

Hello.
When I try to create custom field for Asset definitions I've noticed that the behavior differs from what is described in the documentation.
According to the documentation, it should be possible to create a dropdown field that uses the Users list.
https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/modules/configuration/asset-definitions#dropdown-list-details

However, when I try to create this field, that option is missing.

Regards.

I don't know where the list in the documentation came from, but this has always only shown assets and standard "dropdown" types (Setup > Dropdowns).

[michal1298]

Is it currently possible to define a custom field in Asset definitions that will contain multiple users?
If not, will this be possible in the future, as stated in the documentation?

I am referring to a field that I can create in the Computers category using the fields plugin. Currently, this plugin does not support adding fields to Asset definitions.
