People Picker to DisplayName from a Sharepoint List

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Christior 12

Hi,

 

I'm trying to display a list of names from a sharepoint list people picker field in a Dropdown Box and filter the associated gallery accordingly.

 

Below is what I'm currently trying but the dropdown is not displaying any results:

I've tried various formulae in the dropdownbox for example:

 

Choices(Issues.Test_x0020_Person, DisplayName)

 

to no avail.

 

Any help in displaying all DisplayNames in the dropdown box would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Christior,

     

    Notice that gallery control only display the items not editing them, so you actually do not need a dropdown control in this gallery to make the person and group field shows for each item. You just need to add a Label control, and set its Text property to:

    ThisItem.ColumnName.DisplayName

    Regards,

    Mona

    Thank you @v-monli-msft for your reply, but that's not quite what I'm after.

     

    It was a basic syntax error for the dropdown box.  Changing the Dropdown Box People Picker to:

     

    Distinct(Issues, Test_x0020_Person.DisplayName)

    fixed the issue.

     

    Thank you for the reply though.
