Person Field not showing list of persons

Posted on by RaquelF

Hi,

I created a Power Apps form linked to a SharePoint list. I have a SharePoint list field which is of type person , when I add this field to my form , the dropdown field only shows 1 option (INJECTO) which is not even an option of my list field.

Is there another way I can get this form field to show list of persons in my person list field.? I want this filed to only be able to select one person.

Any help!!

Thanks

Hi RaqueIF,

Did u created a Customizing form in Powerapps or Canvas Apo?

Field to only be able to select one person - In SharePoint there is a setting Allow Multiple Selection keep it as No it will not allow to select more than 1 value for the field.

Dropdown field only shows 1 option (INJECTO) which is not even an option of my list field - This is not clear but we will discuss what are other way around to achieve this functionality

In Data Section -> Add Data -> Search for Office 365 Users Connector and add it and assume the people picker control u used is combo box in the Item property update the below code.

Office365Users.SearchUserV2( { searchTerm: combocontrolName.SearchText, top: 100, isSearchTermRequired: false } )

In the combo box Display Fields Property - ["DisplayName","Mail"]

similarly you have to update the combobox data card Update Property too.

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

This would help, If not revert me we can check..

@MSR@08012015 , No it didn't.

When I try to update the combo box Display Fields Property - ["DisplayName","Mail"] ; it keeps auto correcting to ["@odata.nextLink"].

I did not see the Update property option for the Combo Box, so was able to update it.

@RaquelF,

Update property will be available only to the datacard.

I believe you have used the Form Control, when you adding the fields datacard will be added along with the controls.

Hope this helps!

@RaquelF - I just ran into this same issue. Not sure if you're still looking for a solution, but what worked for me was adding ".value" to the end of the combobox Items formula:

Office365Users.SearchUserV2( { searchTerm: combocontrolName.SearchText, top: 100, isSearchTermRequired: false } ).value
