Hi all,

I want to display a edit button in a gallery only if the logged in user is the same as the assigned to value within the SharePoint list behind.

I store the user in a variable at "on start".

I "Visible" property look for the button looks following:

If(varLoggedInUser = ThisItem.'Assigned to',true)

The error message is something like:

Can´t compare text with records.

So I know what the problem is but I don´t know how to solve it.

Does anybody of you has a solution?

@xxYYxx ,

Assuming that 'Assigned to' is a People type column, use on Visible property:

varLoggedInUser.Email = ThisItem.'Assigned to'.Email

Hope it helps !

Hi @xxYYxx ,

Could you please share the assignment of varLoggedInUser and Gallery items property because it seems you are comparing text value with record.
If Assigned to is people picker column chances are it will be a record.

Hey! you just to check if the variable is the same of that item Assigned To.Email

Something like: var.Email = ThisItem.AssignedTo.Email
