Multi-selection "person" in an edit form?

Hi All,

I have a simple new form capture for a team in my business that points to a SP list.

One of the columns in the SharePoint is a "Stakeholder" column, with a simple "Name or Group" attached to our office365.

I have had a request that they users want to select multiple stakeholders. I have turned on "allow multiple selection" in the SP list, and also updated the Data Card Value in Powerapps to allow for multiselect and turned this true.

However, I am getting an error with the default value of the DataCard itself. It is still connected to the parent (ThisItem.Stakeholder). The error says it expects a table. I am a little lost as to how I can change the functionality to allow for multi selection?

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

Hi @DGWolfe

The problem occurs because you have multi-select turned on.
When single selection, the app needs record type data, and when multiple selections, the app needs table type (array) data.
You can try to delete the form, refresh the data source and add the form.

Best Regards,

Thanks, @v-liwei-msft I tried that, but it still doesn't work. it is a form not a combobox. It should work, I just don't know why it's glitching? Strange.

Hi @DGWolfe

Delete the formula for the default property in the data card.
Put the formula ThisItem.Stakeholder in the DefaultSelectedItems property of the ComboBox in the data card.
