Hi,

I’m currently facing an issue with patching the “Person or group” type column to a SharePoint list. The code seems to be correct, but the patching isn’t working for this column. Here is my code:
 
If(
    varFormMode = FormMode.Edit,
    SubmitForm(Form1)
);
If(
    varFormMode = FormMode.New,
    Patch(
        DMAT,
        Defaults(DMAT),
        {
            Custodians: {
                Claims: Concatenate(
                    "i:0#.f|membership|",
                    DataCardValue28.Selected.Mail
                ),
                Department: "",
                DisplayName: DataCardValue28.Selected.DisplayName,
                Email: DataCardValue28.Selected.Mail,
                JobTitle: "",
                Picture: ""
            },
            MWC: {
                Claims: Concatenate(
                    "i:0#.f|membership|",
                    DataCardValue82.Selected.Mail
                ),
                Department: "",
                DisplayName: DataCardValue82.Selected.DisplayName,
                Email: DataCardValue82.Selected.Mail,
                JobTitle: "",
                Picture: ""
            },
            Plant: DataCardValue41.Selected,
            'Item Description': DataCardValue30.Value,
            Brand: DataCardValue20.Value,
            Model: DataCardValue21.Value,
            Healthiness: DataCardValue29.Selected,
            'Serial number': DataCardValue42.Value,
            'Asset Type': DataCardValue32.Selected,
            Category: DataCardValue36.Selected,
            'Equipment Condition': DataCardValue37.Selected,
            'Equipment Status': DataCardValue38.Selected,
            'Assets Owner': DataCardValue85.Selected,
            'Frequency of Calibration': DataCardValue39.Selected,
            'Tolerance or Accuracy': DataCardValue70.Value,
            NFCTag: DataCardValue40.Value,
            'Device Photo': Image2.Image,
            'Purchase date': DataCardValue26.SelectedDate,
            'Calibration Expiry Date': DataCardValue35.SelectedDate,
            'Asset Number': Value(DataCardValue31.Value),
            'Value RM': Value(DataCardValue27.Value),
            'Test Equipment': DataCardValue43.Checked
        }
    );
    Patch(
        DMAT,
        LookUp(
            DMAT,
            ID = Value(DataCardValue88.Value)
        ),
        {}
    ),Form1.Updates
);
If(
    Form1.Error,
    Notify(
        "There was an error saving the data.",
        NotificationType.Error
    ),
    Navigate(
        Scr_ToolsAssets,
        ScreenTransition.None
    )
)
 
I appreciate your help.

    Have you ruled out the usual suspects already?
    Is the people picker column of type single or multi select?

    its working on one column, the other one not working, is it possible I'm missing the setting of this column?

    I assume that both are single selection Person fields ? If so (using whichever one  is not working), put this on a Label and see if the expected values are visible
    "Name: - " & DataCardValue28.Selected.DisplayName & "Email: - " & DataCardValue28.Selected.Mail

    I am also assuming that the Items of both Combo Boxes are based on Office365Users.SearchUser or the V2 version.
