Hello,
 
I am new to Power app and facing error while saving data back to sharepoint list.
 
I have a assigned to comboBox, I have added this code at it item property:

Item = Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ComboBox_AssignedTo.SearchText})
 
and on Submit button On Select Property I have added patch function with below code.
 
Patch(
    'CHARM CTAS Action Tracker',
    Defaults('CHARM CTAS Action Tracker'),
    {
            'Assigned To':{
            '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
            Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|"& ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.Mail,
            Department:ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.Department,
            DisplayName:ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.DisplayName,
            Email:ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.Mail,
            JobTitle:ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.JobTitle,
            Picture:""
        })
 
On clicking submit, I am getting error as :
The specified user i:0#.f|membership| could not be found.
clientRequestId: 57a528bd-367d-458f-9fb6-a061b1c32886
serviceRequestId: 1e5b78a1-c0ab-b000-5f48-eec95deb1af5

    Hi @CU17011003-0​​​​​​​
    Assuming the Items of ComboBox_AssignedTo is (note small improvement)
    Office365Users.SearchUserV2(
       {
          searchTerm: Self.SearchText,
          top: 999
       }
    ).value
    and it a single selection Combo Box and 'Assigned To' is a single value Person field, then the Patch of
    Patch(
       'CHARM CTAS Action Tracker',
       Defaults('CHARM CTAS Action Tracker'),
       {
          'Assigned To':
          {
             Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.Mail),
             Department: ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.Department,
             DisplayName: ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.DisplayName,
             Email: ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.Mail,
             JobTitle: ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.JobTitle,
             Picture: ""
          }
       }
    )
    should work - note you were missing the blue highlighted part and you do not need the 'odata.type' line now, although that does not really explain the error you have. As a debugging exercise, put this on a Label when you have selected something in the Combo Box and see if you get a valid email
    ComboBox_AssignedTo.Selected.Mail
