    If Nom is of type person/people picker and you are using sharepoint, then you can use below in Patch for Nom field

    Nom: {
    Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & Lower(User().Email),

    DisplayName: User().FullName,

    Email: User().Email,

    Picture: "",

    Department: "",

    JobTitle: ""

    }
