Hello Community,

I have defined a person column in the SharePoint, I have used the Combo to pull the names from Microsoft365 employee names 

when I search with employee name Jon hernandez, the Combo box is showing 2 suggestions for Jon Hernandez(Their emails are like Jon.her@xyz.com,Jon.her-1@xyz.com ) when I click on save it is throwing the below error.

Error
Network error when using Patch function: The requested operation is invalid.

when I use a different name if the combo box give a single suggested name it is saving perfectly.


This is my Patch Function:

Patch(
        'THKL-MasterFile',
        ForAll(
            Gallery2.AllItems,
            {
                EmployeeName: {
                    '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
                    Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & EmployeeNameCard.Selected.DisplayName,
                    Department: "",
                    DisplayName: EmployeeNameCard.Selected.DisplayName,
                    Email: EmployeeNameCard.Selected.Mail,
                    JobTitle: "",
                    Picture: ""
                },


Can someone please help with this.

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Harika_1 ,

     

    If the person column in SP list doesn't allow multiple selections, the Combo box in your App should not allow either.

    Hi @Harika_1 ,

     

    Maybe you can also try below:

    Patch(
     'TC-MasterFile',
     ForAll(
     Gallery2.AllItems,
     {
     EmployeeName: {
     Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & EmployeeNameCard.Selected.Mail,
     Department: "",
     DisplayName: "",
     Email: EmployeeNameCard.Selected.Mail,
     JobTitle: "",
     Picture: ""
     },
     }
     )
    )

     

    Best regards,
