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 ,

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,

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.

Best regards,
