Nested "user from metadata" in workflow

Question

I am trying to set a assignment in a workflow using a "user from metadata". Normally this works fine, but this time I am trying to use a property that is nested twice. 
 So I have a object called "Student ARN" that has a property called "Training Partner" that has a property called "program manager" that contains the users account. When I try finding this in the dropdown list all I get under "Training Partner" I only get a short list of 6 properties, but non of my custom properties are there. 
 Is there a limit on how many times I can nest a relation like this? 
 
 Thanks

Try using the registry setting mentioned in this support article on the computer where you are running M-Files Admin: Hierarchy depth for users from metadata (pseudo-users) The default number of nesting levels is 2, so try raising it to 3. 
 This default limitation exists since too deep reference chains can cause issues in some cases, for instance when defining permissions.
