SPO People field issue office365users

Posted on by Rick_B

Hi team,

Let me explain what is my problem:

I have a SharePoint list with the 'Requested by' column set up as People.

In Power App, I would have a dropdown to which I add to the Default property the following:

 
If(
    Form1.Mode = FormMode.New;
    {
        '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser";
        Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & User().Email;
        Department: "";
        DisplayName: User().FullName;
        Email: User().Email;
        JobTitle: "";
        Picture: ""
    };
    ThisItem.'Requested by'
)Theoretically, this should display the logged-in user in that field. Instead, it shows 'INJECT0' and, if I expand it, a series of numbers. Interestingly, when I submit the form, the username does appear in SharePoint, but I can't manage to display it in the app
 
Any help is welcome
Thanks!
Reuben

Hi Rick_B,

I don't think this will work with the Dropdown. What you need is a Combobox with the following properties.

Items:

Choices([@SPList]. 'Requested by')

DefaultSelectedItems

If( Form1.Mode = FormMode.New; { Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email), Department: "", DisplayName: Office365Users.UserProfile(User().Email).DisplayName, Email: User().Email, JobTitle: "", Picture: "" }; ThisItem.'Requested by' )

The fields property should be set up like this:

It should then populate the control like this:

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Nandit

Thanks @Nandit & @mmbr1606 for your replies.

The problem was on Field properties. I didnt have any Field selected, so when adding Display.Name to the field, it perfectly works.

Thank you very much both for your help!

The solution provided by @mmbr1606 , might work for user who is using classic combobox control. Because classic combobox control has
DisplayFields = ["DisplayName"] SearchFields = ["DisplayName","Email"]

But If I am using Modern Form which has modern combo box then I do not get those peroperties to select.

I am seeing this for the person column fetched from SharePoint list.
Can anyone suggest something to show display name in modern combo box here,

Thanks
