So im trying to get the displaynames in a collection im only getting the claims.

ClearCollect(ColSelectedPeople,{Claims: "",Department:"",DisplayName:"",Email:"",JobTitle:"",Picture:""});Clear(ColSelectedPeople);
ForAll(AddPeople.SelectedItems,Patch(ColSelectedPeople,Defaults(ColSelectedPeople),{Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & UserPrincipalName}));

My collection only gets the Claims and not the department or DisiplayName and so on.

I have tested this and the reason is your code was missing several fields in the 3rd argument of PATCH

ForAll( AddPeople.SelectedItems, Patch( ColSelectedPeople, Defaults(ColSelectedPeople), { Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & UserPrincipalName, DisplayName: DisplayName, Email: Mail, JobTitle: JobTitle, Picture: Picture } ) );

@mdevaney Thank you very much.
The only part im not able to get to work is the Picture part, if i add that it will give me an error saying Picture is not Text.
And for email i had to type Mail, if i used Email i got some weird results.

I think the Picture field is failing because the code is used to store a "" string initially then later it stores an image. PowerApps doesn't like doing that. So maybe you could get away with storing the SampleImage instead of "" initially.

ClearCollect( ColSelectedPeople, { Claims: "", Department:"", DisplayName:"", Email:"", JobTitle:"", Picture: SampleImage } );

@mdevaney Thank you sampleImage worked.

But im wondering do i need this, because when im patching im patching the sampleimage and i dont want to do that? If i just leave Picture empty what will happend in the end when im patching?

@JimmyWork
You initially need SampleImage to define the field as a Picture type but I definitely agree it should not be uploaded. If you set Picture to Blank() patching there will be no issue.
