Error when submitting form on sharepoint people field

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 1,257 Super User 2024 Season 1

I'm a submitting a form that amongst other fields it updates a people field and I keep getting a patch error so I'm assuming it has something to do with my update code.  This is what I have as the update function on the datacard on the form. am I missing something? 

 

{
 Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Label3.Text,
 Department: "", 
 DisplayName: Label3.Text,
 Email: Label3.Text,
 JobTitle: ""
}

 thanks

    mayve also try Blank() instead of " "

    Thanks @mmbr1606  but I'm not actually patching I'm submitting  a form.  and this is the error I'm getting mentioning Patch 

    "Network error when using Patch function: The requested operation is invalid."

     

    Unfortunately solution above or changing to blank does not work  thanks anyway

    I've never experienced this issue before until now. I am using a customized sharepoint form, have not added any logic, but the people fields are not working correctly and I'm getting the same patch error message. The only difference on my form is I'm using the default update property, which is something like MyDataCardValue.Selected. I haven't changed anything. When I go back to the default form, it is still having issues.

    FYI, MS submitted an advisory about the people pickers. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
