Set DefaultSelectedItems to people from SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by FW-07051511-0 160
I have a modern multiselect combobox setup for picking people. All of this works.
 
I have a variable varCurrentRecord which has the list item I want to work on. In this variable is a multiselect people column. I would like to take those values and populate the combobox on my form. I've tried just the generic varCurretRecord.Party in the DefaultSelectedItems but it gives me an error.
 
How can I get my varible to select the right individuals in this combobox?

    I have a blog setting out all the variations, depending on the Items of the Combo Box. Happy to elaborate further if I have your code if the blog does not cover it in your scenario,

    For a modern multi-select People ComboBox in Power Apps, the key is that DefaultSelectedItems must match the same record structure as the ComboBox Items (usually SharePoint/Office 365 user records).

     
    DefaultSelectedItems =
    ForAll(
        varCurrentRecord.Party,
        {
            DisplayName: DisplayName,
            Email: Email,
            Claims: Claims
        }
    )
