I have a Sharepoint list field that is set to 'People or Group' and I'd like to auto-populate the comboBox in my Power App with the DisplayName of the current user.

I have a variable _myProfile that creates a record for each user but it cannot set the defaultselectedItems value for my Combobox, is there another way to accomplish this?

If this is a ComboBox, then you will want to set the DefaultSelectedItems property not the Default.

In your DefaultSelectedItems, place the following formula (assuming that your _myProfile has an email address as well):

With({profile:Office365Users.MyProfile()}, {Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|" & profile.Mail, Department: profile.Department, DisplayName: profile.DisplayName, Email: profile.Mail, JobTitle: profile.JobTitle, Picture: "." } )

Make sure you have AllowSearching on.

I hope this is helpful for you.

I would recommend you follow the advice of @RandyHayes. But I would also like to point out that you have placed your code inside the Default property and not the DefaultSelectedItems property as mentioned within your title.
