Hi Team
I have create a form using sharepoint, now i notice power apps does not have options that are similar to this below, meaning if my organization is using microsoft 365, so our AD account should when finding people name with their email filters the same with power apps. How can i achieve this with power apps for editing my form on power apps if im customizing it there?
Hi , @gcizman2024
According to your description, do you mean you want to use the Combo box to both search the Email and the DisplayName of the person?
If this , you can update the combo box - SearchFields:

@v-yueyun-msft , ok you seem to understand me completely, now i am using current data source from sharepoint, but only to change from person(sharepoint control from the column), on power apps i want o use combo box as shown by you, how can achieve this. Try to use this on select function, but got an error 'unknown searchUser for Microsoft365 is seem deprecated? See my screen shot below
Why do you add the code in your OnSelect property? As you can directly get the person from this combo box :
And you can use the search in this combo box.
The reason being i am using a data source, you creating a form from stratch, now i want to change the current control that derived from sharepoint to combo box. Perhaps my lack of understanding is there, can you perhaps show me.
Thanks for your quick response! And in your screenshot , you have set the items for your combo box :
And this code is to show the items in your combo box. So i think you can see the persons in your combo box.
@v-yueyun-msft the issue when preview this, the combo box becomes a list of 'ltem1, 'item2 etc) how do i get rid of that to allow search as per your guidance?
@v-yueyun-msft , i tried to change the actual to new in design mode, not edit and appears like this; the main goal when i need to run this app on power apps, must myself filter users by typing their email address as per you advice do you understand?
You can update the fields displayed in the combo box here:
So it will show the DisplayName and Email in combo box:
@v-yueyun-msft , other combo box do pick them up as per alphebet, but the last combo box its still not updating it. did follow the logic indicated by you including this new one. But still not on preview, look below;
Thanks for your response! What do you mean about "still not on preview"? In your screenshot , you do not click the "↓" :
