Hi @jlweiss!
Have the users been retired? Or have they simply been unlinked from the Project? If a user has been sent to the trash, they’ll be displayed as a Retired User (or disappear altogether) throughout Shotgun, not just Create.
If you want their name to continue to appear a better workflow would be to set their user status to “Disabled.” This turns off their account so you are no longer billed for them, but they will continue to appear on historic things they did. This also makes it easier to reactivate their account should they rejoin at a later date.

In Shotgun on the web, she shows up on her old versions & notes with her name but the , to further clarify.
Great, thanks! That one seems like a bug for sure.
Thanks for the clarification @jlweiss and @brandon.foster. I’ll log this as a bug in Create then.

Issue logged as VMR-2706.
For the record, active Client User notes also show up as “Retired Users” - these should also display the correct name and hopefully will include the blue box to signify a client note like in the overlay player.
