how to show the user name once clicked on a button

Hi all, 

        I need to show the user name in a label once clicked on the button.

Once user clicks on a button the user name needs to be displayed in the label and patch it to the dataverse column.

Is this possible?

    Hi @Nathan_m1 ,

     

    Yes that's possible although it doesn't make sense to show the name after the user has clicked a button. Why not show it always? You can do so by setting the Text property of the label to User().FullName .

     

    To Patch the the name to a Dataverse column, you can use the same User() function.
