hey

instead of using a sharepoint liste you could also use the office 365 users connector.

add the office 365 users connector to your app.

in the items property of your dropdown use this:

Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm: searchTextInput.Text})

you would also need to place a textinput control that functions as a searchbox.

can i also ask what the use case is? should it always display the logged in users information, or anything else?

cheers
