Currently when I use the Office365User.SearchUser() it only displays the first name in a SharePoint list. Is there a way to Show the First and Last Name.

In the Item Control of the Dropdown Box:

Office365Users.SearchUser(
 {
 searchTerm:cmbSearch_3.SearchText,top:10
 }
)

Hi @lbolin ,

The data shown in the Combo Box fold out is determined by the DisplayFields property.

An easy way to set that is by selecting the Combo Box and in the settings pane, on the right side of the screen, click Edit next to Fields. Then set the Primary text to DisplayName to show more than the just the first name:

Hi @lbolin ,

There is also an existing solution here:

Solved: Display First Name Lastname From Sharepoint Person... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

Do Check Display Name Settings in Azure AD: Ensure that the display name fields in Azure Active Directory (AAD) are set to “Last Name, First Name.” If they are not, you may need to adjust the AAD settings.

Alternative Approach (SharePoint List): If you’re directly using a SharePoint list, consider adjusting the data source. For example, you can create a collection or variable to split the title text by spaces to extract the first name, last name, and middle name
