    You would simply click the people picker, type in a name, select the person, the click Save on the form.

     

    If this is not what you needed please explain in greater detail AND provide screenshots.

    I would like to have the field at powerapp form hidden and then when the form is completed to apply John Doe at the SharePoint list People column.

     

    I don't know where this needs to be done:

    1) PowerApps form

    2) with a powerapp flow?

     

    thank you

    Put this code in the DefaultSelectedItems value of the people picker

    {'@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
     Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|johndoe@yourcompany.com",
     Department:"",
     DisplayName:"John Doe",
     Email:"johndoe@yourcompany.com",
     JobTitle:"",
     Picture:""
     }

     
    Set the Update property of the people picker to:

    ComboBox_PeoplePicker.Selected

     

    Finally, change the Visible property to:

    false

    thank you @mdevaney 

     

    following another post I did:

     

    at the Default and DefaultSelectedItems of a New form I added:

     


    '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser", 
    DisplayName:User().FullName, 
    Claims:"i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email), 
    Department:"", 
    Email:User().Email, 
    JobTitle:"", 
    Picture:"" 
    }

     

    which it does add my user but as i mentioned i need to add John Doe.

     

    any ideas?

    @kouliscon 

    I showed you how to add John Doe in my previous post.  Please follow my instructions.

     

    Note: John Doe must be an employee in Office 365 to add him.  You can’t fill-in SharePoint with some made up name of a person with no account.
