I am trying to create a form in PowerApps where it shows created by, and modified by. I have used powerapps multiple times and have never ran into this problem.
My data cards for Authors of the app are showing up as random numbers. This is using a sharepoint list
Those fields reference User objects in SharePoint, which Power Apps initially treats as lookup values. These random numbers are actually user IDs from SharePoint's backend.
The Created By (Author) and Modified By (Editor) fields in SharePoint are lookup fields pointing to a user profile object. These objects contain properties like: DisplayName (Full Name) EmailClaims (Authentication Details) Id (Numeric ID)
To display the Full Name - ThisItem.'Created By'.DisplayName
let me know if this works!
