PowerApps Studio changing delimiters (separators) in person fields by itself

I'm having a strange issues with PowerApps Studio. When I start the studio or refresh a data connection, every (sharepoint) person field's DisplayFields value's delimiters get automatically converted from semicolon (the one it should be in our locale) to comma. That causes errors to every field and I have to manually change all commas to semicolons every time.. this drives me insane! Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me? I'm using Chrome, I've cleared cache and my language settings are fine.

Hi @zarski ,

Could you please share a bit more about your issue?

Could you please share a screenshot about your issue you faced in your app? Does this issue occur within the Person ComboBox box in your Edit form?

Further, could you please show more details about the Person fields that you mentioned? Do you enable "Allow multiple selections" option for the Person field in your SP list?

Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. The screenshot as below:

According to the issue that you mentioned, I think this issue is related to the region setting in your PC. Please check if you have set the Region setting in your PC to your local region as below:

Note: Most browser default to the host operating system's setting with some also providing a way to set the language manually.

Please check the following article for more details:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/global-apps#language-settings

Also please consider re-start your PC, then re-create a new PowerApps app based on your SP List data source, check if the issue is fixed.

Best regards,

Hi, thanks for your answer.

My region and language settings are fine, but when I tried another browser (Edge) I didn't have this problem anymore! I don't know if my Chrome browser is broken somehow, but it seems that the studio is not reading my browser's language settings quite right. Well, I can always use another browser.

Here's one capture as an attachment. I have used only SharePoint single person fields. You can see that the studio has converted semicolons to commas automatically and it's causing errors.
