Assign the same task to multiple users

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hi all,

 

I am trying to assign a task to multiple users at a time and create separate records in the Sharepoint list. 

 

This is what I am trying to do:

From Power App,

Task (Text input): Task 1

Description (Text input): Description 1

Assignee (Combo Box): Assignee 1, Assignee 2

 

After submitting, patch the SharePoint list,

TaskDescriptionAssignee
Task 1Description 1Assignee 1
Task 1Description 1Assignee 2

 

 

 

My initial approach is using Combo Box to select the assignees (More than 1), then patch the SharePoint list with the result along with the other texts. However, using ComboBox1.Selected.DisplayName only gives me the result of the latest selected result from the combo box instead, which causes the following in the Sharepoint list:

TaskDescriptionAssignee
Task 1Description 1Assignee 2
Task 1Description 1Assignee 2

 

May I know how do I solve this issue? Really appreciate your help.

    Hi @englcc ,

    Something like this should do it (assuming Assignee is a Person field)

    Patch(
     SPListName,
     ForAll(
     ComboBoxName.SelectedItems As aPatch,
     {
     Task: TaskBoxName.Text,
     Description: DescriptionBox.Text,
     Assignee:
     {
     '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
     Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(aPatch.Email),
     Department: "",
     DisplayName: aPatch.DisplayName,
     Email: aPatch.Email,
     JobTitle: "",
     Picture: ""
     }
     )
     )
    )
