Hi


I want to create a dropdown where by user can select staff name from O365 by inputting partial name of a staff to replace datacard.


Can advise how to do it

I use a combo box, Office365Users.SearchUserV2({searchTerm:ComboBox.SearchText})

but not working.

 

Thank you

    If it's just text that you need then you can use this

    First(cbUserPicker.SelectedItems).Mail

    Leave the default of the Combo as blank. Use that code in

     

    - if you are using a form, on the Update property

    - if you are using Patch(), use that code with your relative column name
