Modern Controls: Searchable Multi-People Picker

Posted on by Kazaaa

Hello!

I've just started using the modern form controls as it's no longer in preview. However, I have come across an annoying issue.

I'm pulling the entire organisation's users into the items property with this formula: Office365Users.SearchUserV2({searchTerm: Lower(Self.SearchText),top:100}).value
IsSearchable = true
SelectMultiple = true

The problem I have is that whenever I search for a person, tick the box and move onto searching for the next, the first person I selected gets automatically unticked. I can only tick multiple staff members if they turn up on the same search term. Is there a workaround for this?

Many thanks!

Hi @Kazaaa

I haven't found a way to fix it in the Control.

What i ended up doing (if i wanted to use that) was to add another control, that every time I selected someone it would add them to the other control to track who I selected.. but it didnt work out too well.

I had to :-( stop using that control specifically for that purpose.

Thanks @Michael E. Gernaey

I've tried a few things, and not tested this solution extensively yet, but it looks like it works. So for anyone who also has got this issue:

DefaultSelectedItems:

NameOfYourCollection

OnChange:

If(!(Self.Selected in NameOfYourCollection), Collect(NameOfYourCollection, Self.Selected))

Edit: After testing, I'm sad to say this does not work as intended as removing the checked items becomes problematic.

Have tested now, and the formula adds items to the collection, but there's no way to adequately remove an item from the collection. Will try some more options, but looks like I'll have to wait for a bug fix...
