Posted on by AlexHo 4

Hi, team

I've created a simple list with People picker columns, after I add it on the form in Power Apps, but people picker column not show the display name when I tried to add user in Preview mode, instead it showed the Claim details, normally, it should be the display name

Alex

    Choices([@'People Picker'].Approver1), people picker is my sharepoint list, Approver 1 is   person or group in sharepoint list

    I didn't add any expression of this people picker column in share point list, I just add an edit form in Power Apps with sharepoint list as a datasource

    Hi @AlexHo ,

     

    Maybe you could try to click 'DisplayName' once in the two dropdown options in the Fields pane of the Combo Box Control.
