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

Re: Person Type column in combobox

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,

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,
