User Search in Combo box - User Sharepoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Dear community,
 
i have a sharepoint list including a user column, where i can find all office 365 users within our company.
now i want to create a forms in power apps to get the information for creating a new row in the list.
if i choose the modern forms component, it creates a datacard for the user column and within the datacard, there is a combobox. the combobox has a dropdown and only displays the IDs instead of the display names.
 
What should it display?
- either nothing and i can search for names in office365
- or it displays the displaynames of the colleagues and i am able to search for names as well
 
how do i get to this point? Copilot is s*** and google also doesnt help me :D
 
Thanks a lot and greetings

    @MS.Ragavendar thank you for your answer. Unfortunately it looks like you are using the classic components and power apps, am I right?
    I really want to use the modern ones only.
