Model-Driven App Form Not Pulling Correct Active Directory Column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

I am new here & a new "developer." 

 

  • My submission form for my main Dataverse table asks the submitter for the name of their direct supervisor. That field is a look up to our Microsoft Entra ID table (formerly the AAD/Active Directory). The Display Name (Employee Name) is the primary column & it returns that display name perfectly! 
  • The next field in the submission form is also a look up to the same MS Entra ID table to get the direct supervisor's email address. However, it is pulling from the primary Display Name too, not the email column. My GCC version does not provide a visible way to reassign that field to the email column. Screenshots are attached & below. 
  • Any ideas? Many thanks!!

    No, this is for GCC, GCC High and DoD related questions/issues.  I just think your issue isn't unique to the US Gov clouds, hence you might find better answers faster in the regular forum.

    I saw the GCC reference (which we are on in my state) but didn't realize it was just for DoD.

     

    Thanks for the reply!

    Hey Dan,

     

    First, welcome!  Glad to have you here as a new maker. 

     

    Second, if your issue isn't related directly to GCC/High/DoD, I would recommend using the regular maker's forum for questions.  You'll get faster response from the wider community. 

     

    For your issue, you don't need two lookup fields.  I would first, try creating a calculated field and use the first lookup to populate the calculated (email) field.  If for some reason that doesn't work, you can leverage JS to populate a text field or a flow (Power Automate). The latter will not populate in real time though, so the UX may not meet your needs. 

     

    But again, try the regular forum and you might get other options.
