Capture User Display Name when dropdown option is selected

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by SarahKeown 77

I have a form that enables the user to review a previously logged ticket details and change the status. 

 

How can I get the 'Completed By' field to update to the users display name when they change the status in the dropdown to "Closed".

When the submit change action is clicked I want to update the 'Completed By' field in the sharepoint list.

    Hi @SarahKeown,

     

    Is this an edit form? If you add the completed by data card to the form make it not visible and set the default to User().FullName then it should populate the box for you upon submitting.

     

    Thanks,

    Thank you for the help, I added the field and if statement to update when the status dropdown is changed to "closed".
