I have an app that has worked fine for few months now but I discovered today an issue in that it is no longer patching a people picker field to a SharePoint list.

My people picker field - Name of Supervisor - has a defaultselecteditem formula as follows:

If(varRole = "Staff",  
    {
        DisplayName: User().FullName,
        Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email)
    },
    ThisItem.'Name of Supervisor'
) 
 
This field is populating correctly with the current user logged in - this part is all good.
 
BUT it doesn't seem to patch to SharePoint anymore (it used to without an issue) when my submit button is pressed - a
snippet of the onselect formula of my button (it is long and complicated!)
 
Patch(
            'Information',
            Defaults('Information'),
            Details.Updates,
            Contacts.Updates,

.....My field resides within the Details Form so not sure why it cannot suddenly patch the value!

Found a solution - I added an extra part to the patch statement on my button which seems to now carry across the user populated in the field correctly:

Patch( 'Information', Defaults('Information'), Details.Updates, {'Name of Supervisor':DataCardValue26.Selected }, ContactInformation.Updates,

Thanks, sorry yes it is a person field.

This unfortunately hasn't worked either. I can still see my user is populating within the app fine, but still not patching that through to SharePoint

Hi RM-30040732-0

Assuming Name of Supervisor' is a Person field, try patching the full table

If( varRole = "Staff", { Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email), Department: "", DisplayName: User().FullName, Email: User().Email, JobTitle: "", Picture: "" }, ThisItem.'Name of Supervisor' )
