Im trying to validate before submitform, this is using a button , onSelect I'm trying to use :

If(IsMatch(User().FullName, DataCardValue3.Selected.DisplayName),Notify("Sorry, you cannot be the submiter. Please select another name"),SubmitForm(SharePointForm1))

but the formula shows an error on SubmitForm(SharePointForm1):

Do you know why?

Is there another way to validate that user().Fullname is not equal to DataCardValue3.Selected.DisplayName ???

Thank you

I don't think you want IsMatch() here. You just need to check if the FullName and the DisplayName are equal. Regex is not involved. You should also store the User().FullName in a variable and use the variable.

I would recommend using the Email property instead of the Display name, since Display name can vary from Fullname. But this will work.

Set(CurrentUser, User().Email); If(CurrentUser = DataCardValue3.Selected.Email,Notify("Sorry, you cannot be the submiter. Please select another name"),SubmitForm(SharePointForm1));
