Greetings! I am trying to POC an application for my company to keep track of orders. I have created a custom entity and inside of this entity, I have added two custom fields, "Order Placer" and "Order Approver". Both of these fields have been created with a type of 'LookUp' and I associated this to the 'User' entity. When I run the canvas app, I can see a drop down appear for these two fields and a list of users in my Office 365 directory. The issue I am having trouble with figuring out is that I can type a fake e-mail address into the field and it allows me to submit the form that way. How do I force the field to have the person using the Power App pick a valid user (First Name Last Name) from the drop down list of users from the Office 365 directory?
Grazie!
@Anonymous Are the Order Placer and Order Approver part of an Edit Form? Are these both Combobox fields?If yes, you can change the Required property of the parent Card to true to ensure the user enters a valid value.

That worked great thank you! It's weird because within the entity I did specify this field as required, but in the property of the field it wasn't!
