Post Populate the form

I am working on a form, but I have looked around the forum, and none of it is what I am looking for.

 

My database is a SharePoint list, and I have created a Power App with employee names, emails, and numbers.

I am able to populate a list of staff names or type a staff name.

I am able to retrieve all details, but I want to create something quicker so that users don't have to search for the name and employee email or number separately. Once they search for the employee name, the employee email or number should automatically appear, so they don't have to repeat the search for email or numbers.

 

Can anyone provide some good advice or details on how to accomplish this?

 

thanks

    hey @stevenpetersmi 

     

    how did u set this up in your sharepoint list? is it a choice column with all the names in it or is it a person/group column? do you use an editform in your app or not?

    yes this is SharePoint person/group columns, no add request

    Once it's done, we can use PowerApps to retrieve data from the SharePoint list.

    Then create a new form (classic would be better because the modern form is still an ongoing issue).

    They will ask you which data you want to use. Select the data you want.

     

    Then it will add a name to the dropdown, but make sure to edit the field properties.

    And it's done.
