Multi Select Combo Box - Setting Default Value from a Multi Select People Picker Sharepoint column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by molen 12

Hi -

 

I have a single select combo box that I am able to set the default value from a column that all ready is populated with a name.  I am using a gallery to select which rows data should be used.  That works just fine for a single selection combo box.  Code in DefaultSelectedItem property = 

[LookUp('a1a Request Intake',ID=Gallery1.Selected.ID,'Functional Business Sponsor'.DisplayName)]

 

For a multiple select column I can not get it to work.  I suspect I need to use Filter.  Anyone have any ideas

    Thanks for responding so quickly.  I took a look but am not sure I follow.  I feel like I should be able to say something like:

    [Filter('GCS Request Intake',ID=Gallery1.Selected.ID,'Request Owner(s)'.DisplayName)]

     

    but that does not work and the whole line is red. Help!
