The people-finder.get.html.ftl is not a component that you can use inside a form. You should set the control template for those fields to the /org/alfresco/components/form/controls/authority.ftl to get an authority picker that is very close to a people finder. Unfortunately that control is not really compatible with a simple text field - it is intended to be used for an association field.

Thanks for response it is usefull. But authority.ftl allow select only one user for some reason. Is it possible config authority.ftl to select several user?

authority.ftl allows to select multiple users as well - the action field must be defined as allowing multiple values to enable this.
