Passing people picker combo box value into SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by claireproko 2

Hi, 

 

Looking for some help. I'm trying to build a simple recognition form that will flow into a gallery of recognition cards.

 

Fields are:

 

From - Combo box people picker (auto populated from Office365Users data source)

To - search in combo box people picker

Title - text input field

Description - text input field

 

The From and To fields, though functional on the preview of the form, don't actually send anything to SharePoint when the form is submitted.

 

The data card Update value is set to: Fieldname.Selected

 

Any help you can provide in getting the user info to send to the SharePoint list is much appreciated. 🙂 Thank you!

    @claireproko ,

    To Patch a People field in SharePoint use the following Syntax.

    Instead of User().Email, retrieve the Email from the combobox

    Patch(SharePointList, ThisItem, PersonField:{
    '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
    Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & User().Email,
    Department: "",
    DisplayName: User().FullName,
    Email: User().Email,
    JobTitle: "",
    Picture: ""
    })

    Hi, 

     

    I'm sorry but my knowledge of the syntax and how to make this happen isn't sufficient to make this work. If you could provide some additional info or a link to resources that would be great. Until then I will just have my users select themselves from the people picker field 🙂 Thank you.
