Person or Group field in PowerApps form - no result appeared

Posted on by Nbz78 64

Hi, i just wanna check whether Person or Group allow us to search group email with "Distribution List" type? 

 

When I've tried to find any group email with "Distribution List" type, it will display nothing in my app screen.

But when I've tried to search for a group email with "Mail-enabled security" type, it will displayed the email based on my input.

Is there any settings that i need to configure/do to allow the Distribution List to appear in my Person or Group field? Is that doable?

I need advice from anyone who ever experienced the same issue like mine.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @Nbz78 ,

     

    To put it simply, distribution list includes email addresses only, without any permissions assigned. 

    Why should I use Groups over Distribution Lists (DLs)? - Microsoft Support

     

    In SharePoint list Person or Group column, you cannot find a distribution list name as well. The selections are from Entra ID (Azure AD), and for groups, they must be a M365 group or a security group. 

     

    Best regards,
