Multi-select people displays number of items rather than display names

When viewing an item from a gallery, the multi-select people column I have in my form displays the number of items rather than the names entered. How can I display the names entered?

    Display them in a gallery, not a combobox. Combobox visible area is too small to display much of anything. To see what I mean you can make the combobox reeeeeeallly large and your items should show. But that's not necessary, assuming this is a View form, and you don't need ability to edit it, just remove the combobox and replace it with a gallery, and they will be able to see all the items selected. If it's an edit and you need edit functionality I would just leave it as a combobox, and let them see whats selected by clicking that drop arrow to show the list

    Hi @ShondaT,

    Currently, there is no directly way to solve this issu, this is a known issue of ComboBox.

    As a workaround, you could set the Tooltip of the ComboBox as below:

    Concat(ComboBox13.SelectedItems,DisplayName,",")

    This was actually resolved by making my form bigger and expanding the fields. Thanks for the help though.

    it says DisplayName is not recognised.

    it worked with : 

    Concat(ComboBox1.SelectedItems, Value, ",")
