@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.

Re: People picker - assign a specified user

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?

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

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

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.
