My users need a feature which will replace all instances of someone's name (assuming he/she is fired) with someone else. I use SPService's UpdateMultipleListItems action which works fine, but for people fields I apparently need to set it based on that user's ID on the website.
My users will likely complain if I tell them to enter that each time, so I was hoping there was some way for them to enter the display name so that I could query the user list and return the ID field. Or if there is a better way of setting a SharePoint user field, I am open to that as well.
