Modern control Combo Box people picker not behaving as it should.

Posted on by cardinaluk 73
I am submitting to an SP list Person column with a configured modern control combo box:
Items: 
Office365Users.SearchUserV2({searchTerm: cmboAdminExaminerName.SearchText, top: 10}).value
DefaultSelectedItems: 
If(IsBlank(varAdminExaminerID), [], [galAdminExaminer.Selected.Name])
 
The combo box is connected to a gallery showing the SP list items. Each list item has an Edit button and this populates the combo box so a save button can overwrite.
The problem is with searching in the combo box. It can search most of the time to find the user I want, but when I select a user I want, it doesn't appear in the combo box. It disappears and only shows the search text.
Is this control not fit for use yet?

    hey
     
     
    i know its not the answer you want to hear, but modern controls are still in preview and very buggy. right now they do not offer more benefits, instead they aee causing more issues than they should.
     
    stixk to classic controls cause i and many others wont suggest using the modern ones as of now, and there are almost no solutions to buggy controls.
     
     
    if my answer helped please mark as verified,
     
     
    cheers
