I want to show Author name on detail screen developed using Display Form,
I have already set Value1 For DataCard propery set As DisplayName.
But when I run the App Author.Displayname showing as i:0#.f|membership|<Email Id of User>.
Hi Siva,
If you are using the SharePoint list connection to create the app automantically, then for a CreatedBy column in SharePoint list, specify ThisItem.Author.DisplayName in the text property to show the display names of users who created items in the list.

I have encountered the similar issue before but it always can resolve after waiting for a while. I think this is caused by some update in PowerApps background. After your user name changes, will it get to work later?
Hi Mona ,
Thanks for your reply,,
hi Mona
We do see the resolution, go to the "i:0#" format occasionally. But if we save the record (from power apps), then it seems to resolve it fine.
Our issue was that, we were attempting to check who the logged in user was, and based on their membership - provide permissions. Initially we were resolving to the current logged in user's email address. Now we have an extra condition to check if the display name shows up like the "i:0#" format - and then check accordingly. What we also found was that when the display name is showing up in this format, then the user's emai address becomes empty.
Anyway, we still do not know why it resolves to this format - occasionally. But we have a workaround.
thanks
