Data being pulled into field for 'Person or group'

Posted on 13 Dec 2024 15:34:19 by
Hi! 
 
I've just completed my first Power App, to be used to populate a SPO list, but am having difficulty pulling in the right data. There are two columns from the SPO list that are 'Person or Group' fields, using 'Name (with presence)'. In the Power App, the data being pulled into the drop down for each of these is not 'clean'. It is appearing like this:
 
 
What I would like is for it to begin to show the names of people in our tenant, and the options available to select from (just like when populating the 'To' field in an email), after typing in a few letters. I attempted to change the 'Depends' on to DisplayName, but that didn't change anything. It is currently defaulted to 'Claims'. Obviously, I'm missing something. I've connected the Office 365 Users data source to the app, but it didn't change anything. Do I need to create my own table and populate it with all of our users, then connect to that?
 
 
If anyone can help, I'd very much appreciate your time and knowledge!

    Hi @DR-13121520-0​​​​​​​
    Try replacing with a Classic Combo Box and then Edit in the right panel where you can choose the fields required to display.
