Combobox Value for a person type column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Everyone 

@v-jefferni 

 

I have a person type column in my SharePoint List and combo box in PowerApps for a people picker.

 

For this single selection Combobox  I have following property 

 

For the single selection people column, Update should be:

 

{Claims: ComboBox.Selected.Mail}

 

DSI: First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisItem.ColumnName.Email}))

 

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ComboBox1_3.SearchText})

First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisItem.Primary_risk_owner.Email}))

{Claims: ComboBox1_3.Selected.Mail}

 

 

The issue is with the default value, Not Matter what I set in the default value, there is always a preselected one in the combo box. 

 

I have set the default as Blank (), then also the first Item get preselected.

Could anyone please help me to fix this issue?

    @Danny_Dicaprio - the Default property of the ComboBox control is deprecated.

     

    In the Update property of the DataCard, use:

     

    {
     DisplayName: ComboBox1_3.Selected.DisplayName,
     Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(ComboBox1_3.Selected.Mail),
     Department: "",
     Email: Lower(ComboBox1_3.Selected.Mail),
     JobTitle: "",
     Picture: ""
    }

     

    On the DefaultSelectedItems property of the ComboBox, remove "Parent.Default" and instead use:

     

    If(
     !IsBlank(ThisItem.Primary_risk_owner.Email),
     First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisItem.Primary_risk_owner.Email}))
    )

     

    Do not make any other modifications to the DataCard.
