Patch a gallery Person combo box to SharePoint using OnChange Function

Posted on by jselman

I have a combo box used as a People Picker within a gallery. I'm trying to patch the person selected to a Person/Group column on a SharePoint list using the OnChange function. My formula is:

Patch(colMetricInformation, ThisItem, {'Person Name': Self.Selected.DisplayName})

However, I receive this error: "The type of this argument 'PersonName' does not match the expected type 'Table'. Found type 'Text'.

How do I overcome this error? Thanks!

Hi @jselman ,

You should only need this

Patch( colMetricInformation, ThisItem, {'Person Name': Self.Selected} )

Hello and thanks for your response. I get a different error when I change the formula to your suggestion. "The type of this argument 'PersonName' does not match the expected type 'Table'. Found type 'Record'. It was "text", now it's "record". Any ideas?

Good morning, again. I turned off the "allow multiple selections" function in the SharePoint column and your solution works fine now. Thanks.
