Posted on by UK141RUS

I have a sharepoint sheet, in which one of the columns is a person.
I have created a new application in which I add a new line.
In the application, I created a form that I connected to the list.
I added to DefaultSelectItem I am using

{
'@ odata.type': "# Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
DisplayName: User (). FullName,
Claims: "i: 0 # .f | membership |" & Lower (User (). Email),
Department: "",
Email: User (). Email
}

In Items, I added:

Office365Users.SearchUser ({searchTerm: DataCardValue3.SearchText}). DisplayName

and allowed field search.

It turned out great. By default, there is the mail of the person who opened the application, it is possible to search and edit.
That's just not saved 😃
After clicking the button with "SubmitForm (Form4);" the string is created, but the field named is empty.

How to find out what exactly is sent from the field and how to make it save the user to the list?

Oh yes. Important note.
If you leave my address (which is by default), then it will be saved to the list, but if you change it to something else, then it will not be saved.

Hi @UK141RUS ,
Do you mean you cannot save the value of the custom person control into your list?
Is DataCardValue3 the name of your Person combo box inside the form?
Seems that you have set the DefaultSelectItem property and Items property for this person combo box.

If my understand is correct, you can try this solution.
1. Set the items property of the Items property to(without .DisplayName, so that you can use DataCardValue3.Selected.Mail in next step):
Office365Users.SearchUser ({searchTerm: DataCardValue14.SearchText})

2. Set the Update property of the this Person DataCard to following:
{ Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(DataCardValue3.Selected.Mail), DisplayName: DataCardValue3.Selected.DisplayName, Email: DataCardValue3.Selected.Mail, Department: "" }

Besides, for your second question, if you want to save to your list only when address= defaultAddressText, you can try formula like below for your submit button:
If(addresscontrolname.Text="defaultAddressText",SubmitForm (Form4))
This time, only when address is a default address value, Submitform action can work.
Best regards,
Allen
