How to update a default people picker to SharePoint List source

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21

Hi, there,

 

I have made a APP, and there is a new form page with a people picker field, the value of this people picker field is set by its  DefaultSelectedItems Property, everything is fine until this step. But, when I submit the form, the value of this people picker field can not be updated to the SharePoint List source. 

 

Is there a solution to solve the issue? Thank you very much!

    Hi @Evelyn-Jiang,

    Could you please tell me that how you create this User_selectedUser?

    Do you set the people picker only with the DefaultSelectedItems property?

     

    I think you should set the Update property of the people picker as below:

     

    { 
     Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User_selectedUser.Mail),
     DisplayName: User_selectedUser.DisplayName,
     Email: User_selectedUser.Mail,
     Department: "",
     JobTitle: "", 
     Picture: ""
    }

     

    Or the following formula will also work:

    { 
     Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(PeoplePicker.Selected.Mail),// PeoplePicker represents the Combo Box
     DisplayName: PeoplePicker.Selected.DisplayName,
     Email: PeoplePicker.Selected.Mail,
     Department: "",
     JobTitle: "", 
     Picture: ""
    }​
