Modern People Picker

(4) Share

Report

Posted on by CatalinaBP

Quick question (hopefully): I've created a form for a SharePoint list, which includes a people picker.

The issue is the modern control for the people picker that was added by Power Apps after connecting the form to the list does not display a list of people, just numbers. The classic people picker works as expected.

I'd like to use the modern control, but I cannot find any directions on how to get it to work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many modern control are in preview and can misbehave regularly.
You should avoid any modern control that's categorised under Preview.
Today, there's only 5 modern controls that are safe to use.

Hi @CatalinaBP,

In the modern combo box control for the people picker, you need to add the field DisplayName if you would like the list to show names. This is done by editing the Fields property in the control:

Hi, @Robu1.

Maybe I wasn't clear. Your solution works, but only shows a handful of names.

I'm looking to display all names in the company.
