Power Apps Galleries can't find Person Group

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 31

Hello! I have a Sharepoint List wherein I have a Person or Group field. Nothing fancy, literally just created, named, and that's it. Lets name it Technicians.

 

My intent was that I would be able to do a Power App where I can manage entries in this list, which I view as tasks. I would like to be able who is assigned to that task (hence why I added a Person group) in the gallery.

 

However, Power Apps can't seem to find that field in the sources. I've tried anything, from calling it via ThisItem.Technicians, ThisItem.Technicians.DisplayName, ThisItem.Technicians.Email (says it's a table in every one of these except DisplayName, where it flipflops between Table and Record), and I couldn't find anything. I was inputting this on the "Text" property. I've seen every tutorial I could find, and what for them is just a simple click and pick, it's being a nightmare to me. Can anyone help?

    You probably already checked, but are you certain that the text control is not outside of the gallery?

    Also if you made changes to the list, refresh the data source from Power Apps

    Indeed I checked that already, and they are within the gallery. I even created other text boxes for other data I wanted to show in the gallery and it turned out fine, so I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

    And yes, I refreshed the data source several times. I even tried to delete and recreate the field, to no avail.

    Is it a multi-select people field? If not, I added a gallery and displayed the created-by field.

    That does help in the regard that it's the first time I can actually pull a name from that list. The thing is, who created that task is not necessarily who will be assigned to it, and that's what I need.

    Ok it seems I was able to revolve it. The solution? Make another list, exactly equal to the one you had before, and use that one instead. For some reason, it just didn't like the original list.

    I am glad you resolved it.
