Pass second person name from form to SharePoint list

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hello, 

 

I have a form that someone will fill in for another e.g. a PA entering details of when their boss will be in a specific office.

My issue is the form keeps trying to lookup the Name field and match it to our users.

I have the inputting persons details passing to the SharePoint list with no problem, but the second Name field gives the error "Cannot Match Name"

I can simply pass the text over by changing the column to text that the user has entered on the form to the SharePoint list.

My question is can the person lookup be done on a second field in the SharePoint list and be used on a Microsoft Form,

in other words, an inputter adding to a SharePoint list / Form & adding a employee visiting an office.
Thanks in advance.
