People only vs. People and Groups property in a SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I created an app from data in a custom SP list with several People columns.

In the app, the people picker worked for some of them but not for others.

All their properties (in the app) were the same.

Then I figured out that it only works if the property of the Person/Group column in SP is set to "People and Groups".

If "People Only" is selected, an Edit Lookup control will still work, but not an Edit Selection control.

Is this a bug or by design?

    The fix has been deployed. If you have already published an app with the bug, you will have to open the app in PowerApps Studio and re-publish to get the fix. We apologize for the inconvenience and are reviewing how we can prevent similar incidents from happening in future.

     

    Please let me know if you still are having problems with this issue.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Just an update -- This issue has been fixed already.

     

    Please take a try to re-create your SP list, and then re-create your app based on this SP list, then check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,

    Kris
