Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I have a form in a Power App where one of the fields are connected to a multiselect people column in SharePoint. The form display the people from the SharePoint fields perfectly when the user selects an existing item. When the user clicks the Save-button the SubmitForm command is triggered, which works fine if the form submits a new registration. Unfortunately, when I try to make it submit an update of an existing item, it doesn't save any changes to the item (the form consists of other fields in addition to the multi-select field). I have replaced the combo box which was automatically added when creating the form because it only displayed a number instead of the name of the person. Using a classic combo box instead fixed this problem.

Here are some code snippets from the combobox component:

Items:

Office365Users.SearchUser(
    {
        searchTerm: Self.SearchText,
        top: 5
    }
)
DefaultSelectedItems:
Parent.Default
DisplayField:
["DisplayName","Mail"]
 
Parent component (card):
Update: 
ForAll(
    EmailNotificationDaybookCat_ComboBox.SelectedItems,If(!IsBlank(ThisRecord.Mail),
    {        
        Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(ThisRecord.Mail),
        Department: "",
        DisplayName: ThisRecord.DisplayName,
        Email: ThisRecord.Mail,
        JobTitle: "",
        Picture: ""
    })
)
 
The live monitor throws three errors:
Category: Runtime - Operation: submitFormAsync - Result info: "One or more errors has occured"
Category: Function - Operation: Patch - Result info: "Network error whne using Patch function: The requested operation is invalid." and
Category: Network - Operation: Network - Result info: "Bad request" with status 400. 
 
I appreciate any help I can get 🙏.

Hi @Golefstad,

Try changing the DefaultSelectedItems to

ForAll(
   ThisItem.YourPersonField As _Data,
   {
      Mail: _Data.Email,
      DisplayName: _Data.DisplayName
   }
)

and the Update to

ForAll(
   Filter(
      EmailNotificationDaybookCat_ComboBox.SelectedItems,
      !IsBlank(Mail)
   ) As _Data,
   {        
      Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(_Data.Mail),
      Department: "",
      DisplayName: _Data.DisplayName,
      Email: _Data.Mail,
      JobTitle: "",
      Picture: ""
   }
)
