Is it possible to have a multiple choice people picker/field and those users you select will have access to edit certain fields in the form?

For example

Field Name	Type
Actors	Choice Field with multiple selections
Location	Dropdown
Languages	Text

I basically need the field actors to determine who can edit fields Location and Languages. Is this possible?

Definitely possible.
Depends on the depth of the action.
Single Actor, edit single location and language = Patch
Many Actors, edit single location and language each = ForAllPatch
Many Actors, many locations and languages = (ForAll(ForAll))Patch

What is use case?

what do you mean by FORALLPATCH?
When the user opens the customized powerapps form (sharepoint) if their user().email = one of the selections in the actors field then they will be able to edit locations and language fields. Hope that makes sense

Hi @lui ,

Could you tell me what is your data source?

I suggest you use sharepoint list.

In sharepoint list, you could use multiple person field.

Then you could set the edit form's DefaultMode:

If(User().Email in ThisItem.peoplefield.Email,FormMode.Edit,FormMode.View)

Only the current user is the people in this record, he could edit this record, or else he could only view this record.

Best regards,

My data source is SharePoint
Would this command work when multiple people are selected in the people picker?
