Modern Combobox Control People Picker

Posted on by MS_Gonzo

Hi guys,

I started work on a new app an thought, that I'd try these fancy modern controls.

One major issue I have been running into is to create a people picker with a modern combobox control. I have done this with the classical control countless times. The items property is set to

'Office365-Benutzer'.SearchUserV2({searchTerm: Trim(Self.SearchText); top: 15}).value

Under Prpoerties I have set the fields to DisplayName.

First Issue: The search is kind of janky. When I start to type a name, that name may appear at some point and when continue to type (the correct letters) the name disappears a few letters more and it may appear again.

Secondly: When searching for a name and selecting it, it a appears for a second or two in the combobox and then disappears. When updating to a SP list, it also does not get updated.

When selecting a name from the top 15 without search, it does not disappear.

I have checked the functionality of the combobox itself and when hardcoding a few items, it works fine, so I feel like it has something to do with the Office365 connection.

Any help is appreciated

BR,

Gonzo

I have the exact same issue using the below. Works fine in the classic control, however the modern control wont retain selected item, and the search functionality is unpredictable, almost have to type the whole displayname for it to find the record required, and then it loses it when you select it.
With an app built solely on modern controls, very reluctant to use a classic control.

Office365Users.SearchUserV2({searchTerm: Self.SearchText}).value

I hope this help.
In the People picker Combo Box Items Property Just add Choices([@'Office Location'].Employees,Self.SearchText)

Supposed your table is called "Office Location" and the people column is called "Employees"

in your case:

Replace ‘Office Location’ with your table name,

replace Employees with your peoples column name.
add ,Self.SearchText as the second parameter to the Choices.

This will pull any matching name as soon as you start typing
and this will also be able to update your SP list people column.

let me know if it helped!
