Get profile_id from space_id/user_id with App authentication flow
Answered
When a users adds an item, I would like to add the user to one of the field (as a reference to a workspace member).
When I get the item ( https://developers.podio.com/doc/items/get-item-22360), I get a user_id:
"created_by": { "user_id": **** }
That's not enough information to add someone to a field, because you can't add a user to a field: that has to be a workspace member. Since I want to use the App auth flow, I can't use PodioSpaceMember ( https://developers.podio.com/doc/space-members/get-space-member-20735097): it will return PodioForbiddenError.
How can I add a user to a field?

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your suggestion, but that doesn't work for me. This is what I do (PHP):
$fields[27788373] = array("type" => "user", "id" => (int) $created_by['id']);
$update = PodioItem::update($item, array('fields' => $fields), array('hook' => false, 'silent' => true));
This is what it returns:
'error_description' =>
string
'Invalid field 27788373 ('value'): Invalid value None (null): must be integer or null or JsonifiableAdaptable or null' (length=116)
Can you see what's going wrong?

Same problem, different method: I'm having the same problem again, this time with getting tasks: https://developers.podio.com/doc/tasks/get-tasks-77949
Fatal error: Uncaught PodioForbiddenError: "Authentication as an app is not allowed for this method"
Is it possible to use this method with app authentication?

The documentation is not always correct about the use of App authentication. https://developers.podio.com/doc/tasks/assign-task-22412 states for example that you can use App authencation, but that's wrong since it has no knowledge about any users.
