I have a SharePoint list, Travel_test, and in that list i have a 'Person' column.

I have been successful with a combobox on my PowerApp to pull in the 365-profile with the following:

DisplayFields = ["DisplayName"]

Items = Choices([@Travel_Test].Traveler)

But when trying to patch the record, I am receiving the following error:

Patch Code:

Patch(Travel_Test, Defaults(Travel_Test), {Traveler:ComboBox1.Selected.DisplayName})

Error:

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hi @PBInonpro,

Your SharePoint list is expecting a person record, and you are currently only trying to patch the Display Name to that field. A slight adjustment to your code should do the trick (remove .DisplayName):

Patch( Travel_Test, Defaults(Travel_Test), {Traveler:ComboBox1.Selected} )
(Keep in mind that, should your list contain required fields, you will have to list them in your patch as well)

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution.
Thanks!

I thought I tried that and got an error; but it worked, so maybe a mistype. Either way, thank you.
