Setting a group as the default value of a people picker field

Posted on by rbarrameda

I am currently making an app form that has a people picker field which determines the people the form gets sent to. My datasource is a SharePoint list that has a Person or Group column in it. The value of the field relies on the value of another combo box. So far, I was able to set the value of the people picker field to specific users, which changes depending on the value of the combo box. However, there is a value in the combo box that asks for the people picker field to have a group as its value.

It doesn't seem like it's impossible to select groups in the field. I can type a group's name and select it. I am new to PowerApps so maybe I am missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @rbarrameda ，

Do you want to update group by not using combo box?

The formulas to update person and group are different.

The formula to update person:

{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser", Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & Emailaddress, Department:"", DisplayName:FullName, Email:Emailaddress, JobTitle:"", Picture:""

The formula to update group:

{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser", Claims:"c:0o.c|federateddirectoryclaimprovider|group objectID", Department:"", DisplayName:"groupname Members", Email:"group email address", JobTitle:"", Picture:"" }

You could find your group objectID in adure AD admin center.

I've made a similar test, here's the formula that I use:

{'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser", Claims:"c:0o.c|federateddirectoryclaimprovider|17347cb7-aaef-4361-915e-7d4.....", Department:"", DisplayName:"test126126 Members", Email:"test126126@.....com", JobTitle:"", Picture:"" }

Best regards,
