Values dependent on combobox value are not displayed in Edit Form

I have a combobox people picker.
Users will select a person's name here.
When users select a name, other items namely email, department and manager name are automatically populated.

This works perfectly in a new form but when I edit the saved form, the value on email, department and manager name are gone.
How do I make it so the values on these items are shown in edit form?

If you change the selection on the edit form does it work? What is your Defaults set too for the Email control there?

Yes, it works when I change the selection.
Default for Email is just ThisItem.Email

Hmm, what is the onselect doing with the dropdown? ThisItem.Email should work, but seems like it's not storing the email with the item. If you check the data source is the e-mail in the e-mail column of existing one?

I haven't touched it so it is on "false".
My people picker is actually connected to 365 users and that is where I'm getting all the data needed.
Apologies if my explanations aren't clear, I only started powerapps this week.

Did you check your underlying data source connected to the form? Does your e-mail address save there? Seems like your new form puts it on the right, but it never actually gets saved anywhere? You won't be able to see a value over there unless it exists in the datasource item for that form.
