    Hi @lumos ,

     

    If you want to show the user's display name in a combo box control, I made a sample for you.

    i cant follow your steps because of this and whenever i added Displayname, the combobox will be empty

    Hi @lumos ,

     

    Please set combo box's Items property to: Choices(db.<person column>)

    Hi @lumos ,

     

    It seems that you are using modern control. 

    It is still in preview stage, I suggest you use the classic combo box control.

    Hi @lumos ,

     

    Set combo box's DefalutSelectedItems to Parent.Default and set card's Default to ThisItem.<person column>.
