I have a form within powerapps tied to a sharepoint list. I have a field that I just want to default to the user that's logged in's email address. I tried User().Email in the default property but it's giving error message. Note that the column in SharePoint is set as a people picker and I've also uploaded office 365 data into the App. Any help is appreciated.

hey

for a people picker you can not set it this way.

you need somethung like this:

{ '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser", Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & User().Email, DisplayName: User().FullName, Email: User().Email }

or you can add the office365 users connector and use this:

Office365Users.MyProfile()

if that helped please mark as verified answer

cheers
