After dealing with the cluster**bleep** of patching a record, I'm now dealing with the next problem caused by MS' inability to create anything that resembles remotely sensible software.

I can't look up the bloody **bleep**ing owner of a record. I have a combobox that selects a record that has an owner field. Looking at MS' craptastic documentation you have to do something like this:

If(
 IsType(
 ComboBox1.Selected.Owner,
 Users
 ),
 "user",
 "team"
)

This works, if I select an item in my combobox the output changes to user.

Next I tried this as per MS "docs" (use that word in the loosest sense):

If(
 IsType(
 ComboBox1.Selected.Owner,
 Users
 ),
 AsType(ComboBox1.Selected.Owner, Users).'Full Name' ),
 "team"
)

Which results in your whole app breaking. The Combobox doesn't work anymore. Remove the code/textbox doesn't recover the app either. You need to reload the whole goddamn browser to get it working again. That tells you something about the amount of QA MS does...

All I want is to lookup the bloody owner record so I can patch is. But no, MS just had to design this in the most assbackwards way they could possible think of.

tl;dr need to lookup the user of ComboBox1.Selected.Owner.
