Re: Dropdown list is empty

automagic only works with the $variableName being the same than field
name (nothing to do with foreignKeys)

$recipients means that the field should be "recipient" or
recipient_id" or "recipients"
so in your case try $toUsers or simply set it manually using
'options'=>$recipients
