I have a SharePoint list with a Person Column. 

I would like that when the users open this in the edit form, the value is automatically changed to the user email address.

The current code is 

Choices([@'Datasource'].ColumnName)

I tried changing it to User(). Email, but get the following error:

"Expected Table Value".

 

Any insight would be appreciated.

    Change the Default (if Dropdown, DefautlSelectedItems if a combobox) to the following Formula:

    { 
     '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser", 
     Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email), 
     Department:"", 
     DisplayName:User().Email, 
     Email:User().Email, 
     JobTitle:".", 
     Picture:"."
    }

    I hope this is helpful for you.
