Problem/Motivation

The migration system does not yet support migrating user reference fields, with their settings and values, from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8.
The source module is https://www.drupal.org/project/references.

Proposed resolution

Add a field plugin to handle Drupal 7 user_reference fields.

Remaining tasks

  • Write the field plugin based on \Drupal\migrate_drupal\Plugin\migrate\field\ReferenceBase
  • Write tests of said plugin
  • Update the Drupal 7 fixture with a user reference field or two
  • Update our integration tests to ensure that the user reference fields and their configurations are migrated correctly
  • Update other integration tests to ensure that user reference fields' values are migrated properly
  • Commit the patch
  • Find a trampoline and jump on it ecstatically

Note that the patch in #2814953: Migrate Drupal 7 node/user reference fields already does this so maybe we should close as duplicate now?

Maybe. I am waiting to see all the changes needed for user reference before fully committing to marking this as a duplicate.

Both the node and user reference migration are in #2814953: Migrate Drupal 7 node/user reference fields and all tests are updated. Hopefully the user reference field migration will get committed in that issue. With that in mind I am closing this as a duplicate.
