Person Type column in combobox

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi Everyone ,

 

I have a person type column in my sharepoint list 

In my power app I have a combobox with following items property (Multiselect)

 

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ComboBox1_1.SearchText})

when the form is submitted , the values( the peoples name  ) are not getting recorded in the sharepoint list 

Could anyone please help me to fix the issue

is it because of the DSI of the combobox

    Hi @Danny_Dicaprio ,

     

    Please try and use below formula in Update of the Data Card:

    ForAll(ComboBox1_1.SelectedItems, {Claims: ThisRecord.Mail})

     

    In DSI property, needs to populate the combo box with records from the table which is the Items property:

    ForAll(ThisItem.PeopleColumnName, First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisRecord.Email})))

     

    Best regards,

    Hi @Danny_Dicaprio ,

     

    SharePoint People column requires the table structure:

    single selection: {Claims: Email} //a record

    multiple selections: [{Claims: Email1},{Claims: Email2},{Claims: Email3}] //a table

     

    For the single selection people column, Update should be:

    {Claims: ComboBox.Selected.Mail}

     

    DSI: First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: ThisItem.ColumnName.Email}))

     

    Best regards,
