it was the update property, i was trying to loop through for each selected item .
what is the difference between default and defaultselecteditems in the valuebox of a combobox datacard?
and when users select multiple people in a a combobox, how do I grab all of them into an array or make sure that on formload, those people will still be there and saved into the sharepoint list, while also adding my own custom "person". i think i needed to use clearCollect all this time, but im not sure.
basically the use case was this:
1) user person single select drop down is chosen
2)office365v2getmanagerv2 (selected datacard . Email).mail is used to grab the manager of that user
(dont have the code accessible
3) in the manager box (step 3), i wanted the logic to work like this. let it autopopulate the manager(step 2) based off the user person single select dropdown (step 1) on form start, if 'onselect' or 'onchange' the form user decides to override this autopopulate step 2/step1 action with other chosen managers.
conflict: upon re-entering the form, it once again autopopulates to the associate manager there, instead of sticking to the record/table values of the manager combobox (step 3) that the user had previously overridden them with, among other very unusual behaviors, like clearing other seemingly unrelated columns due to patch function mishaps I presume..
