Jodi Nemser-Abrahams Process Builder limited owner field references for actions
I had a trigger flow that used the field Owner:User.Email as a variable. When trying to set up the parallel in Process Builder, I found that I couldn't access any owner fields other than OwnerID for a flow variable. When I tried using update records instead of flows, I couldn't access any owner fields.
What this meant for me is that I was unable to replicate in Process Builder what I had set up as a flow trigger originally because of reduced functionality. This is one example that I caught, but I'm sure there are others.
In workflows, it is quite easy to reference field from the record owner.
Is this intentional? If not, when can we anticipate a fix? Thanks!

I think you should then be able to select the user fields as shown in the pic below:
The fields on the owner record are not currently available. The Idea is under review by the saleforce product team see https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000Dg6pAAC for latest details.
