    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    try the below code if the data card is a people picker:

    {
     '@odata.type':"#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
     Claims:Concatenate("i:0#.f|membership|",ThisItem.<<yourfiledName>>.Email),
     DisplayName:ThisItem.<<yourfiledName>>.FullName,
     Email:ThisItem.<<yourfiledName>>.Email
     }

     
    I hope this resolved your issue if you see any challenge/need further help please let me know I am always happy to do it for my community.

    The problem is that I try to use this Email.  field further for the filters. As filters did not work, I made this field visible in the form and see it is kept empty for the created SP items, when I open form in the Edit or View mode

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Do you want to set the email field's default value?
    Could you tell me:
    1)the email field data type?

    2)the control that you use to display email field? the settings of this control?

    3)what does  "author email" represent? current user's email?

    4)the form's Item?

    I believe that you did not use right formula, so the email field display blank by default.

     

     

     

    Best regards,
