Recipient required in To: block in Email Client

Hi Community Gurus,

occasionally when an user enters an email address in the "TO" textbox in Email Client (this email address does not have a matched sys_user or notification device), they get an pop-up indicating "Recipient required in To: Block" and the email does not send out.

 

I initially failed to replicate it in UAT but after attempts several times, this has been reproduced and I can see this can happen at times not all the times with copy / paste the email in the To field.   

 

I can work around it by appending ";" char and it seems accepted afterwards.

 

By creating a new sys_user record I think might help but it can cause other issues like extra user record maintenance, let alone the email client is a flexible email tool without matched "To" recipient records.

Has anyone experienced the same and any advice on the resolution.  

 

Cheers,

Hi,

the email client template page is an UI page and code behind it is not accessible to us.

I believe that's the platform OOB behavior.

Thanks Ankur for that, now I know it might be a platform behavior. for the interim, I have created a sys_user for our client so the suggestion will pick up the matched user to mitigate the occurrence of the pop-up error.
