Choices() on SharePoint user column can no longer lookup existing guest users?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 8
There are some SharePoint customised forms with Power Apps in my tenant.
Those apps have cards and combo boxes connecting user type column.
Employees enter home users and Entra ID registered external users into the combo box, then submit the form.
 
In mid-November, the employees noticed that the combo box was only returning home users and not guest users as suggestions. I checked all those forms, but none of them returned guest users.
 
The formula of combobox(which is the default one):
Combobox.Items = Choices([@'SPList'].'UserTypeColumnName')
Power Apps version & publish date(one example): 3.24091.13, 2024/09/19 17:35
 
The last time when a guest user was succesfully enterd : 2024/11/01, so i think that the specifications or settings were changed sometime in November. Is this operation possible in your tenant/environment?
 
Please forgive my poor English.
Any information is welcome. Thank you!

    I made a test and it seems I also get the same behavior.
    In the Combobox dropdown, it did not list the guest user, but I still can search based on the guest user name, sometimes, you may need to fill full user name.

    Hi Meekou, thank you for your information.
     
    You can search guests using display name?
    I tried copy&paste their display name, user princilal name, email from Entra Admin Center, but these don't work. The suggestions under the search field is empty.....
     
    If this behavior of Choices() is NOT a bug, Should I use Office 365 Users connector instead?
