Person Field not showing list of persons

Posted on by 58
Hi,
 
I created a Power Apps form linked to a SharePoint list. I have a SharePoint list field which is of type person , when I add this field to my form , the dropdown field only shows 1 option (INJECTO) which is not even an option of my list field.
 
Is there another way I can get this form field to show list of persons in my person list field.? I want this filed to only be able to select one person.
 
Any help!!
Thanks

    Update property will be available only to the datacard.
     
    I believe you have used the Form Control, when you adding the fields datacard will be added along with the controls.
     
    Hope this helps!

    @MSR@08012015 , No it didn't. 
     
    When I try to update the  combo box Display Fields Property - ["DisplayName","Mail"] ; it keeps auto correcting to ["@odata.nextLink"].
     
    I did not see the Update property option for the Combo Box, so was able to update it.

    Hi RaqueIF,
     
    Did u created a Customizing form in Powerapps or Canvas Apo?
     
    • Field to only be able to select one person In SharePoint there is a setting Allow Multiple Selection keep it as No it will not allow to select more than 1 value for the field.
    • Dropdown field only shows 1 option (INJECTO) which is not even an option of my list field -  This is not clear but we will discuss what are other way around to achieve this functionality
    In Data Section -> Add Data -> Search for Office 365 Users Connector and add it and assume the people picker control u used is combo box in the Item property update the below code.
     
    Office365Users.SearchUserV2(
        {
            searchTerm: combocontrolName.SearchText,
            top: 100,
            isSearchTermRequired: false
        }
    )
    
    In the combo box Display Fields Property - ["DisplayName","Mail"]
     
    similarly you have to update the combobox data card Update Property too.
     
    {
        '@odata.type': "#Microsoft.Azure.Connectors.SharePoint.SPListExpandedUser",
        Claims: "i:0#.f|membership|"&combocontrolName.Selected.Mail,
        Department: "",
        DisplayName: combocontrolName.Selected.DisplayName,
        Email: combocontrolName.Selected.Mail,
        JobTitle: "",
        Picture: ""
    }
     
    This would help, If not revert me we can check..
