Combo Box drop down of Group Members?

Posted on by DB300

I have a combo box that the datasource is a sp list 'MyList', the field is a Person set up to Choose from SharePoint Group 'MyCompany Members'. My combo box Items is: Choices([@'MyList'].Designer)

at runtime, you can start to type a name and, eventually, it will hit a match and populate. but there are no selections when you select the drop down arrow? I was expecting the drop down list to be all the members of my group, and you would select the one you want.

How do i do that?

Hi, @DB300 unfortunately this is how person column of SharePoint list works. The dataverse own works a lot better and come out like you preferred, but on SharePoint list, it won't show you when you click drop down, you only need to start typing the values until they pop up.

I hope this helps.

I'm not sure what the "dataverse own" is? Are you saying it is impossible to have a drop down (combo box) list of group members in power apps?

You say the dataverse own works better and can do it, is that something i can make a connection to?

For some reason that's how SharePoint person column works. You can connect to dataverse if you have licence to use it. It's a matter of preference though. @DB300
