Hi,

I have a sharepoint list, and I want to filter from this list and collect more than two people into Combobox as default value in PowerApps as below.

I have try to use Lookup in DefaultSelectedItems property in that combobox and it works. (It shows only one person, for sure because I use Lookup function.)

But If I put Filter function in DefaultSelectedItems, it shows blanks...

My questions is how can I suppose to do to set multiple person as a default value into combobox?

The combobox is a person filed in SP list and already set allow multi-selection.

Thank you so much for any solution.

@BowChien Then set the DefaultSelectedItems to ThisItem.columnname (use the correct name)

Sorry I didn't mentioned so clear...
I have a SharePoint List A and combo(person field) is from this list. I want to show multi-person from another SharePoint List B to this combo.

So, I try below formula in DefaultSelectedItems property in combo as below.
Table(
{
DisplayName: Filter('SPListB',Category.Value = "condition").Title,
Claims: Filter('SPListB',Category.Value = "condition").Authenticated_Users
}
)

@BowChien The Items in the DefaultSelectedItems must match with Items in the Items property of the Combobox. Otherwise it's not going to work. I also don't understand why you want to show values from some other list in the combobox of a column from another list. It's a bit puzzling!

@CNT Thanks for prompt reply. Because we put contact person information in SP list as a database and we want to directly show those several contact person as default, because there're lots of contact person and user no need to add one by one. This is the purpose...
