Hi @ali00418 ,
To patch people picker, use below syntax (you will have to replace list name and check column names as there ight be some typing mistake) -

Patch(ListName, Defaults(ListName), {User: { DisplayName: DataCardValue2.DisplayName, Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & DataCardValue2.Email, Department:"",JobTitle:"",Picture:"",Email:DataCardValue2.Email }, DateLogged: DataCardValue3.SelectedDate, percentageofTimeWorked: txtPer.Text})

I'm currently using the following formula in the onvisible property of the form screen to extract the current user's information, and placing that as the default of datacardvalue2:

Due to this would it be best to make your suggested change, and scrap the current user variable? Or is it still possible to implement it?

Hey @NandiniBhagya20 ,

When I attempt to use your suggested fix, I get the following error in my patch function:
I was wondering if you could shine some light on this issue, as it seems to be the final thing holding the form back from working as intended.

Thanks 🙂
