Hello everyone,

I'm doing a like counter in Powerapps, but I don't know how to add my user to the people picker in the form when I press the icon.

I'm trying it by doing the following, but it does not work:

 

UpdateContext({DataCardValue7:User()})

 

The idea is add my user to the combobox (people picker), in order to add one people likeing the post.

    Hi @marinadengra9,

    Wouldn't the 'Created By' field (assuming you store your data in SharePoint) be sufficient? Or is there a specific reason you use a dedicated Person field?  If yes, then you can use this:

    NameOfPersonColumn: 
     {
     '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
     DisplayName: varUser.Name,
     Email: varUser.Email,
     Claims: varUser.Email,
     Department: "",
     JobTitle: "",
     Picture: ""
    }
