I guess the SPD activity is coded to parse user ID and other parameters from a "standard" (single user) person or group field. For a single user the field format is ;#. For multiple users it is ;#;#;#;#;#etc. I guess the parsing procedure is not coded to allow for multiple users. You may log a request for this functionality to be included in the next release on the Codeplex page for the Custom SPD Activities project. Greg Hi Lynn,

I tried out your solution and it worked! However notice that it works only if a single user is selected. If an assigned to field has more than one user, the full name is not displayed in the email. Is there any solutions/suggestions for this? Hi Greg,

I didn't think it could be a simple as just entering LinkTitle, but it was. Now, the emails I've got our workflow sending look 100% better. Thanks! Have a good weekend.

You need to type in the name of the property you're after manually (e.g. in my example I typed in LinkTitle to get the FullName property). Look through my previous comment above for more details.
