Please select from the following usernames: tester1@testme.com, tester1 and it should display all user ids in the Official Email Address or Username box. 4) You should be able to pick the user id (delete the others) and add the participant

Thanks for the patch Brooke. Zhen, do you agree with the patch? I also have a patch to skip checking emails if the email is an eid.

We have a patch for this issue which I will attach to the ticket. Basically all we did was change the severity of the multiple users on record message to SEVERITY_INFO. This allowed the changed input of the TextArea to be updated.

My two cents on how this should function:
1) If a user is found when looking up by an eid that is an email address, go with that user. Stop doing lookups.
2) If you need to rely on doing an email lookup, there is clearly something broken in 2.7.x/2.7.1. The user is not able to proceed past the alert message.
