Person Section shows i:0#.f|membership| when I look for a name.

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 87

Hello, 

 

I have a brand new List and added only 1 "Person" section. 

I opened Power Apps and I added the section with the "Person". 

I have done no coding yet, nothing. 

 

Whenever I look for a person, i get this -> "  i:0#.f|membership|  " before the e-mail address.  (attached image) 

 

How can I remove it? I don't want the end user to see something like this i:0#.f|membership|.

    I just converted to office 365 from Sharepoint 2016, what I'm finding is that it is intermittently doing this, it appears that the basic form I use I can resave and then pull the information in powershell and it enumerates properly, 

     

    If you notice. when it incorrectly enumerates, I basically is not separating the values, e.g. LookupValue (which I have set for user) and then I have email value however when it is incorrect the form did not split the 3 values. e.g. 

     

    incorrect

    ,#i:0#.f|membership|USERID@hca.corpad.net,#Jim.James@abc.com,#,#Jim James

     

    when split correctly

    LookupId 0001
    LookupValue USERID@hca.corpad.net
    Email Jim.James@abc.com

     

    Again, I can refresh the page or go into the list and tab through and it might work right, it appears more like the timing, the list has to catch up. 

     

    I also have found if I run my script too quickly the people picker entry is fully blank.

    @takoye 

    When you click on a Combox Box, you should see a popup window to the right.
    "Properties" and "Advanced". 

    Click Advanced. You may need to click the unlock button to edit. 

     

    The DisplayFields said "Claims". I changed to "DisplayName".

    Sometimes after typing the Power Platform still reverts back to "Claims".  Very Annoying.

    Just copy and paste ["DisplayName"] into the DisplayFields Box and it should take.

    Hi,

     

    I am new to Power Apps.

     

    Can you show me step by step to what you have mentioned changing  to ["DisplayName"].

    @StretchFredrik Thanks for post.

    For some reason for the first time I people ComboBox was showing Claims for me.

    Your post was helpful.

    Hi Fredrik,

     

    Thank you for this, this kind of worked for me but not fully. Now the display name is listed but right below is the  i:0#.f|membership|  wording. Is there a way to fully remove this wording? Furthermore, the display names are being listed on the form I am working on (again with the i:0... as well), I saved it and published it, but the form on the Sharepoint site is still only showing the "i:0#.f|membership|"... only. I tried to screenshot but cannot seem to screenshot while open to a drop-down list, sorry. 

     

    Best,

    Bree

    Hello, 

     

    I was too happy on Friday with the solution and I continued building my app that I didn't think about that.

    If Microsoft hasn't released something yet, should we consider it as a "bug"?

    Kostika, the solution provided is correct, however I am still wondering what caused the problem. It is only since last week that you have to make this change to the people picker properties. In the past - the people picker did not display i:0#.f|membership|, by default. I cannot find an official reference from Microsoft on it.

    Now I feel really dumb. I was trying & researching for the last half hour. 

     

    Thank you Fredrick!

    Change the following to ["DisplayName"] in the property of the dropdown.
