People picker combo box error on submitform "Network error when using Patch function"

Posted on by 133

I followed some instructions to add a combo box to select a user and save it into a Person column named "Requester." Before this change, it was working, as a text box, saving the user from the User() function. I wanted the user to be able to change to select a different user and have it save in the Request column.

 

After the change, when I press the button to submit the form, it shows an error, "Network error when using Patch function" and debugging monitor shows further error, 

 

"HttpResponse": {
            "status"400,
            "message""The specified user i:0#.f|membership|john.doe@company.com could not be found.\r\nclientRequestId: ..."
 
Strangely, it works only when I select my own user, but not other users.
 
Here is the code.
 
in the Combo Box, which I named requesterDataCardValue4,
 
Items property: 

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: requesterDataCardValue4.SearchText})

 

DefaultSelectedItems property:

Parent.Default

 

On the Data Card, 

 

Default property: 

If(
Form1.Mode = New,
{
DisplayName: User().FullName,
Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email),
Department: "",
Email: User().Email,
JobTitle: "",
Picture: ""
},
ThisItem.Requester
)
 
 
Update property:
{
DisplayName: requesterDataCardValue4.Selected.DisplayName,
Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(requesterDataCardValue4.Selected.Mail),
Department: "",
Email: requesterDataCardValue4.Selected.Mail,
JobTitle: "",
Picture: ""
}
 
Any ideas?
 
Perhaps some permissions setting is preventing the Office365Users functions from looking up other profiles besides my own?
