Posted on by rsinha

Hi,
In an screen of canvas app, I am adding a Form, based on SharePoint List, and there is one column "Person type" in that list.
I want who ever user logged in, his/her name should come as default in the form, they can change it if they want to enter the details of someone else in his/her team. but current logged in user must come as default in Form. Can it be achieved?
I did try to add few formula in Default value:
1. Office365Users.UserProfile(User().Email).DisplayName
2. User().FullName

But nothing seems working. Any help

Put this in the default selected item property of the combobox

{
'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|"&User().Email,
Department: "",
DisplayName: User().FullName,
Email: User().Email,
JobTitle: "",
Picture: ""
}

I'm able to populate the current logged user on a new entry. When I go and try to edit the entry and save it, it saves back to the current logged in user and not saving my change. What if statement do I need to enter for the default value on the Name data card?
