Allow selection of select inactive users in User data fields

Allow selection of select inactive users in User data fields

Hello,

We sometimes need to select a previous employee that has an inactive account in the User data field. For example, when doing database cleanup and indicating actions are done by a certain employee that weren't filled out when they were part of the company.

What would be great is if there is an attribute for inactive users called "Available as a choice in User field", allowing these inactive users to be shown and selected when entering data in a User field.

Additionally, given that this would not be common (but still very useful), perhaps the dropdown for the User field could group by active users and then by any inactive users which we still want available in the user field.

Thanks in advance for considering this suggestion!
