Trouble with prepopulating an Owner Field from a Prepoulated dropdown

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 16

Hi Everyone, 

 

I am hoping to get some help on something I have been working on for a while today and everything I try fails.  The current situation is that I have a simple form named 'Input_Files_Form' which is linked to a SharePoint list named 'Files'. 

 

It has 3 fields shown to the user: | Title | Attachments | Owner | 

 

Currently the Title field is a dropdown that is populated from a SharePoint list called 'System List' (not sure if this is relevant but it might be given no luck with reading other solutions). 

 

I have another SharePoint list named 'Users' which has 3 columns -> | Title | Owner | Active | which are all populated with information.  Owner is a person/group type field. 

 

What I am trying to achieve is for when someone uses my form, they select a title from the dropdown and the owner field of the form is populated by matching the title selected in the dropdown and matching it with the title in 'Users'.  I was trying to accomplish this by using:

 

LookUp('Users',System.Value=ThisItem.Title,Owner)

 

After it is prepopulated, the user will submit the form and the 'Files' sharepoint list will be updated with a title, attachment & owner. 

 

I am not getting errors but the field remains blank. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

    I also tried 

    LookUp('Users', System.Value = DataCardValue41.Selected.Value, Owner)  
    to no avail.
