Auto populate a "person" field for the approval in a power app

Posted on by 29

I have a power app that has

 

"Line manager" (open person field)

"Area director" (open person field)

 

These are working as intended, however I want to have a set person informed when there is restricted travel. That person is always the same person. How do I fix a person field to a certain person?

    That seems quite complicated compared to what I want to do. 

    Is there a way to make a default entry in the field.

    hey @Norsk_Imposter 

     

    i have done this in the default property of a peoplepicker:

     

    If(Form1.Mode=FormMode.New, 
    
     { 
    
     Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|john.doe@domain.com", 
    
     Department: "", 
    
     DisplayName: "John Doe", 
    
     Email: "john.doe@domain.com", 
    
     JobTitle: "", 
    
     Picture: "" 
    
     }, 
    
     ThisItem.'Zugewiesen an' 
    
    ) 

     

     

    you can delete the if condition and just keep the middle part, that should work as well.

    { 
    
     Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|john.doe@domain.com", 
    
     Department: "", 
    
     DisplayName: "John Doe", 
    
     Email: "john.doe@domain.com", 
    
     JobTitle: "", 
    
     Picture: "" 
    
     }

    make sure to input the right name and domain when u copy paste.
