Cannot select two users with identical display names

Problem/Motivation

I have an user entity reference field and the two following users:

  • display name 'Foo Bar', username 'foo_bar'
  • display name 'Foo Bar', username 'bar_foo'

When the first user is already selected and I start typing the same display name again, the second user does not appear in the dropdown. When I check the JSON response, it is returned, but Tagify just doesn't show it.

Proposed resolution

Stop using the entity label as Tagify item value, because it is not guaranteed to be unique. Use the entity ID instead. This only seems to be an issue in the user widget.
