Description

In the "custom string" the value of the referenced field from another entity isn't displayed and is copied as {REF:U@I:xxxxxxxxxx9871248B0xxxxxxxxx} (but the referenced field's value is displayed and copied correctly when it's present in the "username" field).

How can I get the same behavior for the "username" field for "custom strings" as well?

Research direction

Reproduce the difference between referenced fields in the "username" field and in "custom string" values, using the issue's example reference token. Trace the existing handling for username references and identify the corresponding custom-string path. Done means the referenced field's value is displayed and copied in custom strings as it is in username fields.
