I'm using a combobox (within a form control) to allow users to search for people in the company and it works fine and writes to my SP List (via submitform) but when the user navigates back the field is blanked out.  The other fields in the form return properly but this one does not.

This is the Item code: SortByColumns(Filter(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:Self.SearchText,top:100}), AccountEnabled=true), "DisplayName")

Datacard update property: DataCardValue25.Selected.DisplayName

Searching is enabled and it's a single select

Form item property is varRecord

Card default is ThisItem.ReportedTo

Combobox default and defaultselected items properties are blank

 

Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi @Roxann_R,

    Do you want the ComboBox populated with the selected user reflecting from the list when you navigate back?

    Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?

     

    If you want to achieve this, you should set the DefaultSelectedItems property as below:

    ThisItem.ColumnName

    Thank you @v-qiaqi-msft , I ended up using this code to bring back the field value:

    If(!IsBlank(ThisItem.WorkerName), Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ThisItem.WorkerName, top:1})).

     

    thanks for your response!
