I am using the office365 function to lookup people's name in my company but for some reason I am getting weird entries in it too along with the names. Screenshot attached. I want to ensure that only the names of people show up. Kindly help.

the formula I used is:

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

@Pankil Bhatt

Does this mean the code is correct, the issue is coming from the directory over which we have no control?

Hi curiousperson01

Select the Combo Box, then Edit in the right Properties panel and then DisplayName in both the Primary text and Search field drop downs - that should fix the issue.

@WarrenBelz
It doesn't solve it yet.
Also, how are you tagging me in the replies? I am using "@and then your name" as it appears on the replies but it doesn't work for me.

I am not sure why that does not work - you are currently displaying a field other than DisplayName - you just need to display that. Can you please send a screenshot of the same panel I posted.

Hi curiousperson01,

Can you please check the Fields property to make sure you have the "DisplayName" selected for both Primary and Search fields.

Here's a screenshot:

For the Modern Combobox, you will be adding the DisplayName by clicking on "Add field" button:

Hoping this will resolve you issue. Do share how it goes.

Kind regards,

Nandit

Hi @nandit

It is still the same as the screenshot I posted below today.

Also, can you please advise how to tag someone in a reply? I am using "@Nandit" but nothing pops up to tag.
