Multi select people picker in Powerapps for Dataverse

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 51

Hello,

 

I am building Powerapps form based on Dataverse. I have used text column and the used combobox for people picker.

 

items property: ShowColumns(Office365Users.SearchUser({top:999, searchTerm:Self.SearchText}),"Mail", "DisplayName")

defaultselected items: {Mail: ThisItem.Team, DisplayName: ThisItem.Team}

Update property : Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems,Mail,",")

 

This works fine but now when someone saves and later comeback to this field they find all the names concatenated. Inturn if they want to remove any name from this they are compelled to remove all the name and readd once again.

 

How we can solve this issue?

    I have this exact setup (field name is different) and cant get this to work for me. What is Result referring to?

     

    Here is my error message:

    Hi @Dronzer10,

    Yes, this is caused by the formula you set for the DefaultSelectedItems property of the Combo Box. You set it as a concatenated string, which is a totally different data format with it in the Office365 table.

     

    Modify the DefaultSelectedItems property of the Combo Box as below:

    Ungroup(ForAll(Split(ThisItem.Team,","),Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:Result})),"Value")
