Allow token in fixed email field

Seems reasonable and should be pretty easy to do, see \Drupal\workbench_email\Plugin\QueueWorker\WorkbenchEmailProcessor::processItem

We already replace on body/subject/reply to. Would just be a matter of doing the same for the to address.

I really need this functionality as well. I have multiple editors who are assigned to content in an "assigned editor" field, and I currently have to create roles for each one in order to send email to the correct editor. Let me know if I can be of assistance with testing.

@alex.verhoeven, there should be a user reference recipient plugin you can use instead

Yeah it's called entity reference: user https://git.drupalcode.org/project/workbench_email/-/blob/3.x/src/Plugin...

Ah! I didn't realize that adding a user entity reference field to the content type would add it to the available entity reference user fields in the "To" settings. This might be a workaround for me. My main hurdle is that I have thousands of imported nodes from the D7 site that have the assigned editor values as a text string. I will have to do some major bulk operations to move that over into an entity reference field. Being able to use the token would still be the ideal solution in my scenario. I'd be delighted to test a patch when one is available.

Thanks so much for the info!
