## Description

### Steps to reproduce

*Please write down the steps to reproduce. Try to write down all necessary preconditions (what permissions do you have, are other users involved?). Example:*

1.  Login as a user with permissions to edit budgets in projects

2.  Navigate to a project that contains placeholder users and a group as members

3.  Create a budget in that project

4.  Add e.g. 10 hours planned labor and select a group or a placeholder user

5.  Click on *submit*

### What is the buggy behavior?

*Please describe the bug in as much detail as possible. Example:*

  - Placeholder users and groups will be displayed as *Deleted user*

*<img class="op-uc-image op-uc-image_inline" src="/api/v3/attachments/110746/content">*

  - When you click on *update* to edit the budget, both will be displayed correctly.

### What is the expected behavior?

*Describe how the application should behave like. Example:*

1.  It is possible to identify which placeholder users or groups have been selected when one opens a certain budget
