Issue: People Picker Combo Box

Posted on by vvSTRIDEvv

Greetings, I am using the Office365Accounts data source to populate a combo box (single select) with display names, in my form. The form saves to a SharePoint list fine, but will not show the selection in the combo box once the form is closed and re-opened for further edits.

I use this to populate and search theOffice365 data:

Items = Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:Author.SearchText,top:999})

Curious on how to set the defaultselecteditems to pull in the saved value from sharepoint.

Hi @v-bofeng-msft thanks for your respose as I have yet to figure this out.
The combo box 'Author' is set to single entry and the data type is just single line of text.
The Update property is just:
Update = Author.Selected.DisplayName

Hi @vvSTRIDEvv ,

You could set the combo box's DefaultSelectedItems property to:

First(Office365Users.SearchUser({searchTerm:ThisItem.ColumnName,top:1}))
