What to specifiy in "Items" of a dropdown to populate with list of users?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 19

I am designing an edit screen to edit a Sharepoint list. I am not using the "edit form" feature due to some limitations (layout, dependencies, conditional behaviour...)

Instead I am putting individual elements on my screen (dropdowns etc.) which I patch to the Sharepoint list on "save".

 

My Sharepoint list has a person lookup (single value).

Now I want to have a people picker on my edit screen so I can patch it to that SP column. I'd like to use a dropdown. How do I populate this dropdown?

In other words, what do I need to specifiy in the property "Items" of the dropdown to get the list of users known in our Sharepoint?

 

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Hi Wim,

     

    I am afraid we are not able to show SharePoint People and Group column on a Drop down control without an EditForm.


    I have a SharePoint listC and there is a People and Group column named People.


    Per my test, when I try to set the Items property of the Drop down as ListC.People, it seems that it cannot be delegated. While when I try other columns, such as a Text column, it will work.

     

    Best regards,

    Mabel Mao
